Artikelname: The Flannel Makers
Artikelbeschreibung: For many centuries, the woollen industry was amongst the most important and widespread of all rural industries. In Wales it was impossible to move any distance at all without meeting some evidence for its presence. Men, women and children were heavily employed in textile manufacture, whether it be in the home or in a riverside mill building. Wool workers contributed to the self sufficiency of rural dwellers and were as vital to the economy as workers in wood and metal. In some parts of Wales however, the manufacture of cloth went far beyond supplying a local demand, for one or two regions were concerned with an international market and could have become as important as Yorkshire and the West of England.

Artikelname: The Lost Villages of Britain
Artikelbeschreibung: In an age when building developments seem to be advancing on every small plot of unspoilt countryside, it seems hard to imagine times when well-established settlements were declining and dying. Such times certainly did exist, and thousands of villages have perished. In fact, deserted settlement sites are all around us, and most British people will live within very few miles of an example. Empty houses only stand at the relatively recent settlements, like failed quarry villages. Elsewhere, hollows in the pasture marking former lanes and level platforms where dwellings once stood are more normal. In several of the more evocative cases, a ruined church presides over the site. Villages are not symbols of timeless stability as we are led to believe, and exist only for so long as they have a role to play. All the evidence suggests that villages can be lost and that a period of widespread abandonment might well return. This accessible, illustrated history and guide from Britain's leading popular author on landscape history explores the contributing factors behind the desertion of our villages, and offers the reader practical advice for investigating lost villages in their locality.
