About Fencing in Trowbridge
Trowbridge in Wiltshire, the county town, was a centre of the English wool industry by the 14th century, specialising in heavier white broadcloths that were later refined into the finer medley cloth praised by Daniel Defoe in the 17th century. The industry grew through the 18th century under influential clothier families such as the Mortimers, who reinvested their wealth into the town, and by 1820 Trowbridge had 14 large steam powered factories alongside many smaller specialist workshops, earning it the nickname the Manchester of the West as the leading producer of woollen cloth and blankets in south west England.
