Not sure if this is the correct place to put this note - but for those of you researching your silk weaving ancestors in Hadleigh, Sudbury and into Essex


In today's East Anglian Daily Times newspaper, sadly the death is announced of

David Rowland Possee age 66 years

the author of the 'The Weaver and The Throwster', the book which tells the story of the 19th century Essex and Suffolk Silk Industry. 
(He also wrote 'Life at Home 1914-1918').
He toured both counties giving talks on the subject to historical and local history groups.
I was fortunate to hear his talk to The Sudbury Society. We have lost an expert in this field of Suffolk local history.
