https://soundcloud.com/lorelle_11/historical-norwich/s-CN - Interview with owner of a shop is formerly a 600-year-old weavers house. During the 17th century, Norwich was known for its weaving and textile industries. The most  affluent product produced being "Norwich shawls.  It has been said that the noble ladies would drape themselves with beautiful Norwich shawls.  The set of  postcards that are influenced by my imagination will have a deep connection to both the present observations I have made and the historical elements that are still evident. Having said this, I believe "Norwich red " is a crucial element within the design of these postcards.  Having visited the Bridewell Museum I gained a significant amount of information, the most being the cultural significance of the colour red. . In order to continue to develop the textile industries in skilled textile workers came to Norwich from Europe they were known as the Strangers.

         Norwich had a 600-year  weaving and textile industries.
