About Bradford ....

For more than six centuries Bradford-on-Avon was a center of cloth weaving. During this time, most of the buildings along the hillside to the river were spinners and weavers cottages with the woolen mills lining the bank of the river Avon. By the mid sixteenth century the clothiers of Wiltshire, and the Hall’s in particular, became an important family in the cloth trade. This prosperity continued until a devastating outbreak of plague in 1609.  This outbreak coupled with Wiltshire’s unwillingness to change from the old white undyed broadcloth to the new lighter colored broadcloths, resulted in a sharp and immediate decline in the manufacturing of broadcloth in Wiltshire.  This decline, and the rise of religious unrest led many Wiltshire’s residents down a path leading to America.
