  • [Tweed and Textiles from Early Times to the Present Day]
    [Tweed and Textiles from Early Times to the Present Day] The crofting way of life as it was lived in the Calbost area occupied the time of the whole population; both male and female during the four seasons of the year in a fully diversified way of life. Their work alternated from agriculture, fishing, kelping, weaving and knitting, cattle and sheep etc. etc. Some of that work was seasonal and some work was carried on inside during the winter months when it was difficult to participate in outdoor work because of the weather and the long winter evenings. Distaff – ‘Cuigeal’ The manufacture of cloth on order to protect him from the elements was one of man’s most ancient occupations and spinning was carried out by the distaff and spindle from an early date, yet it is believed that the distaff is still in use in parts of the world today. The distaff was also used extensively in Lewis in times past. A distaff is simply a 3 ft x 1½ inch rounded piece of wood with about 8 inches of one end flattened in order to hold the wool on the outer end as the distaff protrudes out in front of the spinner as she held it under her arm with a tuft of wool at the end. The wool from the distaff was then linked to the spindle ‘Dealgan’ or ‘Fearsaid’ which is held in the opposite hand and given a sharp twist by the fingers at the top of the spindle, in order to put the twist in the yarn as the spindle rotates in a suspended position hanging from the head.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

  • Agrarian Activity in British Gujarat
    SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL BASE TO THE NON- AGRARIAN ACTIVITY IN BRITISH GUJARAT R. D. Choksey, a prolific writer on the economy of Gujarat has observed for the colonial period that the Gujarat’s economy got adversely affected during the 19th century. He opines:1 The old village industries were dying. The best example is spinning and weaving which perished before the machine made goods, cartage disappeared with bus transport, rice husking and flour mills deprive the women of their occupation. Copper and brass utensils crippled the potter’s art. In these and many other ways the change in taste, habit and fashions ruined the village economy. Spinning and weaving in some form remained and was not lucrative... This observation of Choksey indicates that the sub-regions, i.e., British Gujarat under study had enjoyed economic prosperity in past, i.e., the medieval Gujarat which underwent change (my emphasis). For him, the change is adverse because the “village economy” was affected. However, to me this change is multi- dimensional and progressive; away from the concept of self-sufficiency and indicates the inter-dependency in context to rural-urban continuum. This observation also indicates the revamption of urban economy when attempts for raising agrarian surplus is noted; mud pottery is replaced by copper and brass utensils; emergence of diverse culture and fashion pattern contributed to the significant change in the textiles manufacture. In the section three of Chapter Two on Pre-Colonial Non-Agrarian Environment, we have discussed about cotton manufacture, varieties of dyes used in cotton and silk fabric and ready goods; paper making; wood work; work on leather; iron products; navigational skills; &c.

  • Central Weaving Institute, Banaras: a Cultural Encounter Between the Native and the Modern Form of Instructional Practices
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 52.2 (2017) 161-173 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2017/v52i2/49054 Central Weaving Institute, Banaras: A Cultural Encounter between the Native and the Modern Form of Instructional Practices Prakrati Bhargava* (Received 10 February 2016; revised 12 April 2016) Abstract Handloom weaving was the most widespread industry in colonial India, next only to agriculture. A century ago India was the prime centre for trade of fine textile products. However, under the colonial rule it gradually transformed into a market for cotton-textile goods imported from Manchester and Lancashire. This also brought about technological changes in various processes of handloom weaving industry reflecting not merely a technological shift, but a cultural encounter where recipient already possessed a native system of handloom weaving. The present paper will examine the introduction of institutional mechanism of weaving industry on modern lines. The establishment of Central Weaving Institute in the heartland of weaving artisans ‘Banaras’, in 1912 is indeed a glaring example to modernize the weaving methods of artisans in United Provinces. Major focus will however be made on technological change in handloom weaving industry, followed by mapping of the efforts made by various agencies viz. provincial government or voluntary organizations to adopt and adapt the changes in handloom weaving in colonial India. Finally it will stress on the institutionalization of modern form of Weaving School at Banaras which was named Central Weaving Institute. Key words: Banaras, Central Weaving Institute, Colonial government, Cultural encounter, Handloom weaving, Technological change. 1. INTRODUCT I ON encounters both resistance and support from the Weaving was practiced in India since ages recipient society.
