#calais 🇫🇷 lace has its origins in #england 🇬🇧 . At the end of the eighteenth century, England saw an extraordinary economic expansion, driven by technological inventions. In the field of textiles, the #nottingham area became a major centre for the production of mechanical tulle, thanks in particular to the work of Lindley, Heathcoat and Leavers who developed the technology of the #tulle weaving loom. #crossingthechannel #tech #transfer #knowledge (à The Burghers of Calais) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRJgVw7rR2R/?utm_medium=tumblr
