About Fencing in Hinckley
Hinckley in Leicestershire became a centre of the hosiery trade after William Iliffe introduced the first stocking frame to the town in 1640, and by 1791 nearly 1,000 frames were in operation, with framework knitting established as a full time domestic trade employing around 2,400 people by 1782. Only Leicester itself produced more stockings than Hinckley through the early 19th century, and steam power arrived in the local hosiery trade in 1853 when Thomas Payne introduced it to the town, though full factory production did not fully take hold until the 1880s and 1890s. The trade remained the principal industry in Hinckley right up until the 1970s, and a nine week strike in 1890 saw the Hinckley and District Hosiery Union win pay increases of up to 40 percent for its workers, a landmark moment in the town's industrial history.
