Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper reviews the building evidence for the survival of the home as workplace. Handloom weaving prospered after the introduction of mechanized spinning, and this prosperity is reflected in the numbers of purpose-built houses containing weaving shops. The authors have attempted to classify the surviving stock of handloom weavers' houses into a number of types and to account for their distribution. Documentary sources indicate that handloom weaving survived in some instances up to forty years after the introduction of mechanized spinning into the counties. The paper is therefore offered as a contribution to the archaeology of resistance, showing how this group of artisans preserved what is termed their illusory independence, resisting integration into the factory system for as long as possible. | ||||||
