Effort To Revive Ancient Industry An effort to revive the wool weaving industry in the ancient Norfolk (England) village of Worstead, once the centre of the Norfolk cloth trade, is already meeting with success, says the New Zealand Wool Board’s News Service. Revival of the industry was sponsored last year by the International Wool Secretariat when it presented a large handloom to Worstead School. Now two Yorkshire weavers, Mr and Mrs J. R. Johnston, have set up workrooms in the village—in one of the actual buildings where weaving was carried on centuries ago, and cloth made thd&e is already being exported to various countries. As soon as suitable equipment and trained labour are available, it i£ hoped to extend the business considerably. To meet the labour problem, weaving classes are being started in the village. It is felt that the revival of the craft will benefit the whole community and help Britain’s drive for dollars.
