Abstract: The paper considers how fieldwork evidence can be used to investigate key themes that arise in the historiography of domestic industry, particularly with regard to the insights that can be obtained into the regional nature of Britain's industrialisation. A focus is given to articulating and explaining variations in the design characteristics of domestic workshops; to judging the impact of the rise of domestic industry on the formation of rural and urban settlement, and to assessing the variation in accommodation standards experienced by domestic workers and their families. Previous work in relation to these themes is discussed and illustrated with examples from various parts of the country, and further research possibilities are suggested.
