#textiletown here too Interesting to trace the area's industries #Lovatt pottery, #Jaeger #Aristoc #Wolsey carrying on the knitting/lace tradition so many lace runner-ons or stocking seamers in my female ancestors 😹 #genealogy

Seeing this set me thinking about my family members in the #textile industries making stockings, lace, interlock garments such as these and knitwear locally #Wolsey #Aristoc #Brettles #Jaeger and #NottinghamLace #GenHour Dad used to wear separate collars and braces in my childhood
