Wool merchant taking 'pieces' of cloth to the Cloth Hall at Leeds for sale, 1814. These lengths of cloth were made by homeworkers. Merchants supplied them with the raw material and marketed the finished cloth. With the coming of woollen mills and industrialisation these craftsmen were gradually driven out of work. From The Costume of Yorkshire by George Walker. (Leeds, 1814). | |
