What you need to know

 

In the past many people's lives revolved around the textiles trades, trades no longer practiced locally such as ropemakers, leather curriers, hatmakers and glove makers. This talk explores the lives of some of those working class textile trades in Tewkesbury in the 19th century.

Did you know that textiles lived in the Old Baptist Chapel cottages in the Victorian period?
