Detail View: The David Morgan Rees Collection: Handloom weaver

Title: 
Handloom weaver
Caption: 
Hand loom weaving has moved from being an integral part of the Yorkshire woollen industry to an activity which is pursued by dedicated amateurs as a pastime. Keith and Margaret Brier were survivors of the earlier domestic way of working. They worked from their home in Upperthong which was a typical setting for the cottage industry of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when whole families spun, wove and still farmed. Margaret Brier of Upperthong near Holmfirth at work on a tappit hand loom weaving a sample length of woollen cloth.
