Fine weaving skills on show
SPINNING and weaving skills were on display at an Oxford exhibition.
Old-fashioned machines were installed in the Oxford Information Centre in St Aldate’s to give visitors an insight into the methods of old.
The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Oxford, Alderman and Mrs Arthur Conners, are seen watching Mrs J Archer at work in 1973 after opening the event.
The demonstrations were presented by members of the Oxford Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers.
