Download or read book Huddersfield Mills written by Vivien Teasdale and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of the early textile mills of the famed English town, and work and life amid the Industrial Revolution, with photos and illustrations. In this fascinating survey, Vivien Teasdale documents the mills of Huddersfield—some now demolished, others repurposed, and a few still connected with the modern textile industry. Teasdale also recalls the people whose livelihood depended on the mills—the owners, the workers, and their families. Their combined efforts over generations created the prosperity and growth that gave birth to the town we see today, and this book gives a keen insight into their work and their lives. All kinds of mills are featured here—woolen, worsted, yarn spinners, and shoddy. The people who worked in them are brought vividly to life—where they lived, how much they earned, what their working conditions were like. Early union disputes are recalled, giving a glimpse of the organized labor for which Huddersfield is so rightly famous. Some of the names may live on mainly in the streets or buildings named after them; others have long been forgotten, despite their influence on the town in the early days. But the era in Huddersfield’s history that they represent, and the lost community of individuals and families who lives revolved around them, are well remembered here.

Download or read book Urban Textile Mills written by Heike Oevermann and published by BeBra Wissenschaft. This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban textile mills shaped European cities from the late 18th century. The decline of the textile sector in many of the original locations has meant that converting and repurposing these historic industrial complexes has become a new opportunity and important task in many European cities. The novel contribution of this book is that it examines not only the period of industrialization — the historic emergence of four urban mill types — but also focuses on recent processes of their repurposing, and correlations between both periods and processes. The book contributes to the case-specific knowledge of 20 textile mills in Europe by analysing their development as industrial complexes, beginning with the first steam driven mills in Manchester from the end of the 18th century, towards their conservation and conversion in the 21st century, including the manifold layers of time. The work promotes the — often conflictive — task of achieving an appropriate balance, between conserving urban textile mills as documents of the past and adapting them to present and future needs.
Download or read book Fashionability written by Regina Lee Blaszczyk and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion studies is a burgeoning field that often highlights the contributions of genius designers and high-profile brands with little reference to what goes on behind the scenes in the supply chain. This book pulls back the curtain on the global fashion system of the past 200 years to examine the relationship between the textile mills of Yorkshire – the firms that provided the entire Western world with warm wool fabrics – and their customers. It is a microhistory of a single firm, Abraham Moon and Sons Ltd, that sheds light on important macro questions about British industry, government policies on international trade, the role of multi-generational family firms and the place of design and innovation in business strategy. It is the first book to connect Yorkshire tweeds to the fashion system. Written in lively, accessible prose, this book will appeal to anyone who works in fashion or who wears fashion. There is nothing like it – and it will raise the bar for historical studies of global fashion. Here you’ll find intriguing stories about a tweed theft from the Leeds Coloured Cloth Hall, debates on tariffs and global trade, the battle against synthetic fibres and the reinvention of British tweeds around heritage marketing. You won’t be bored.

Book excerpt: 'An impressive range of sources... a fascinating, thorough and well produced book. Well Suited's wide scope will appeal to a range of historians - those interested in costume and textiles, gender, Jewish history, economics and business as well as Leeds residents for whom, even if they were not dependent on it, the clothing industry provided a backdrop to everyday life for much of the twentieth century.' -Costume Society'This is a tale of one city, a comprehensive account of an industry extraordinarily important to the economy of Leeds for over a century. But while the book focuses on this national centre of clothing manufacture, the issues considered are anything but parochial.' -Costume Society'A most useful point of reference.' -English Historical Review'A fascinating survey... fills a major gap in the literature of economic and social history... the work will be widely welcomed by historians of all persuasions.' -Northern History'The book is attractively illustrated with maps and photographs of old Leeds. The appendix provides summary information on the histories of a considerable number of Leeds clothing firms, and will be of great assistance to future researchers... As an explanation of the changing fortunes of the Leeds clothing industry Honeyman's account is effective.' -Business History'A lively and well researched book.' - Geoffrey Owen, Financial TimesThe making of cloth as a central element within industrialization has been the subject of intense scrutiny, yet the industry that created garments from that cloth has been largely neglected. This book remedies this neglect through a study of the Leeds tailoring trade. Leeds occupies a special place in the history of the UK clothing industry: by the outbreak of the First World War it had become the nation's foremost producer of menswear, and the city remained the production and distribution centre for men's tailoring until the 1980s.

Download or read book Norky s Ramblings written by Peter Norcliffe and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of random memories and anecdotes collected together from deep within my fading memory. They are in the form of a series of stories by an old man (me) while sat around the fire with friends, family and anyone who will listen, and often while they are not listening, as he re-lives his younger days. I cannot call myself a writer, but downhill with a following wind I could accept being described as a story-teller. I have had, and continue to have a happy life. I am not particularly interested in earning lots of money, being a proper Yorkshire man I am more concerned with not spending it. I have enjoyed writing my memoirs and seeing them in print. My rambles are not political and I do not mention covid-19 nor Brexit at all. I limit my admiration to friends, family and very few past notables. So-called celebrities do not get a look in anywhere. Peter Norcliffe of Golcar. 21/06/1947.
