During a visit to Sudbury,we were able to otain a remarkable amount of information in a short space of time, which visitors to our website might find useful.
The following summaries do have some repetition:
Visit to Sudbury 8 October 2024
Visit to Weaver's Piece, Sudbury
Text of "History of Sudbury Silk - a Short History of the Silk Industry in and around Sudbury
Text of "Sudbury and Silk" by David Burnett for Sudbury Suffolk Heritage
If we had had more time, we would have liked to have seen:
- some of the weavers' cottages, and
- perhaps the shops of the silk manufacturers, and
- the displays at the Heritage Centre and Gainsborough Museum.
