The authors much consulted Gloucestershire Woollen Mills has long been out of print. Wool and Water is a comparative, fresh appraisal of the history of the woollen industry in Gloucestershire, a county with more than 200 mills in the industrys heyday. Wool and Water traces the origins of the waterpowered industry from the late 12th century to its demise, with two mills remaining in the 20th century. Themes discussed include the organization of the "domestic" industry until the mid18th century; the development of the factory from the late 18th century; fluctuations in trade; and, finally, competition from Yorkshire. Where did Gloucestershires cloth go? To markets all over the world: to Hudsons Bay, to India, besides Europe; to clothe the British Army, as well as speciality cloth for coronations and the Popes robes.
