Tracing History Backwards ib—' Industry'
K. C. BOSWELL
Last week Commander Stephen King-Hall told listeners all about modern 'ndustry, and today Mr. K. C. Boswell is to tell them about industry as it was in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. The sounds of the hand-loom and of the spinning bobbins, such as characterised the cotton industry at the time of the Industrial Revolution, have been recorded for use in this talk at Ditchling in Sussex, where many old industries survive. These will be contrasted with the din of a great modern Lancashire cotton mill.
