Abstract (en)

The journal of Edward Taylor, the record of a yarn-buying journey from Norwich to Yorkshire and Darlington in 1817, highlights the stark contrast between the booming factory-based worsted industry in the north of England and its dying counterpart in East Anglia. This article, incorporating transcripts from the journal, identifies many of the manufacturers and agents mentioned in Taylor's account, and discusses the disparity in conditions in the worsted trade of the two regions.
