Dear Friends,
so how many waves of Flemish textile workers there were in History of South East Lancashire?
1st Edward III and Philippa of Flanders, right - 1337?And that was Bolton and Manchester (or better say Salford?). Looks like Edward promoted intermarriages between locals and foreigners, they didnt live isolated lives but established the families just like Edward did (hahahah).
2nd 1567 Spanish aggression in Netherlands under Philipe II and Duc de Alba (Flemish are Dutch, and yeah Charles De Coster book speaks about religious persecutions which led to it). Not sure about their locations in Lancashire. I have heard of Knowsley Cottages, which reportedly belonged to Flemish.
3rd 1600 (not sure when exactly) and what was the reason??? William III (who was Dutch)??? Not sure about the location either.

There were Flemish weavers in Halifax, West Riding as well...fustian, right.

Thanks to everyone again. kind regards,
Ruslan

Dear Friends,
I am trying to get in touch with Cross Guns, does anyone know if they have email address or facebook page. I am in America, so those two ways of communication are the most preferable.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
R

Thanks again for the info appreciate, really good stuff and very helpful !!!
Did Flemish of first (1300s) or second (1500-1600s) waves of immigration
have their own settlements or they lived among locals. Like here where I live
in Ohio we have German Villages here and there...I wonder if something like that
was in Bolton areas.

I think that "invitation" of Flemish to England by King Edward III is related to his marriage to Philippa Princess of Flanders. Maurice Druon book Accursed Kings gives quite colorful account of that era and marriage itself. But yeah that was 1300's. Looks like in the mid 1500's another wave of Flemish immigrants to South East Lancashire and West Riding Yorkshire, this time its Duke of Alba religious persecutions in Spanish Netherlands...actually Flemish even though live in Belgium, arent Beligians they consider themselves some sort of Dutch. So yeah Protesttants....makes sense Bolton was stronghold of Protestantism during the Civil War.
