A first-rate weaver would weave three plainbacks (forty set) a week. Until now, Norwich continued, to use the words of an eminent authority, the only part of England where any considerable numbers of the very finest stuffs ...and bombazines were made. "The manufacture, " he writes, "of the coarser kinds of worsteds, except camblets, has been transferred in a great measure into Yorkshire. Norwich is also engaged exten- sively in the trade of silk shawls and other articles in which no worsted is used whatever. Still, however, the worsted manufacturers of Norwich may be considered as in a flourish- ing state. The number of looms employed in worsted at the present time (1818) may be estimated at ten thousand, half of which weave camblets, calimancoes, and other stuffs, and the other half bombazines, narrow and broad.
