Summary
Display Label
Cotton Cotton weaves as warp and weft through Manchester. For 200 years cotton created factories and fortunes. Along canal banks, around mills and warehouses echoes of clattering clogs linger in misty dawns. Cotton linked Manchester with a global hinterland. Raw cotton came from America's Southern States, finished fabric left for every continent on earth. Through cotton, many diverse ethnic groups have long called Manchester their home. When cotton was King many artists and designers found work in Manchester. Today the fashion trade and textile arts thrive in the city, fuelled by creativity and verve.
