An illustrated history of the carpet industry in the Kidderminster Area including Stourport, Bridgnorth and Bewdley from 1735 to 2000. The book looks at the effect the carpet industry has had on the people and town of Kidderminster. It also includes a pocket history of every carpet company working in or associated with the area. In the 18th century Kidderminster was a small market town with a thriving cloth weaving industry. The hand loom weavers were industrious and already noted for a crude floor covering. Therefore, it is not surprising when, in 1735, the first loom-shop was established in Mount Skip. A period of change followed as cloth production diminished and the demand for carpet grew to the point where it became the predominant product. The carpet industry went through turmoil during the mid to late 19th century when the?Industrial Revolution? hit the town bringing the power looms and the factories. The skyline changed as the mills and their chimneys were constructed and the surrounding fields and open spaces became roads and factories. The population grew rapidly creating a need for more housing and public services. The town centre also developed with new shops and a Town Hall. In the 20th century the industry continued to grow. The war years were difficult but the post war boom of the 1950s injected new life and prosperity into the town. A second revolution became a reality as new, more productive, processes were introduced. From the 1970s onward the industry was restructure: many companies merged or were taken over. Some failed to meet the challenge and the number of people employed in the carpet industry was significantly reduced. The history of these companies, their owners and the employees, makes interesting reading and becomes a major section of the book. Over 250 companies are reviewed.
