Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England
- Textile in England History. Few places in England can
match Calderdale for its intrinsic history and culture. A common thread
(be it a pun) is the determination and enterprise of people to eke out
an existence on a moorland fringe that threw anything and everything at
it in the way of severe weather, drought etc, to try and prevent the success.
The beginnings of the textile industry were high priority in this region
nestled away "in the valleys".
- Textiles
Through Time
- In the time of past generations, the role of handmade
cloth and garment was more prominent, more personal, more part of everyday
life than what is commonly known today. Textiles embodied the social values
and customs of their times: opulent laces and richly woven fabrics displaying
wealth and prestige; fabrics of intricate detail and symbolic design for
dowries, births, and deaths; richly hand embroidered and woven textiles
for household adornment.
