THE Westbury Area Family History Group will welcome Lily Munday to give a talk on the history of the gloving industry on Thursday 28th February, 7.15pm.
Organisers say, “At one time Westbury was home to five glove manufactures; all have now closed. In addition to the factories around the town, glove-making was also carried on by piece workers in their own homes.”
The Westbury Area Family History Group, a branch of the Wiltshire Family History Society, meet every 4th Thursday of the month at 7.15pm in the foyer of Westbury’s Methodist Church. The branch has regular interesting and informative talks and discussions by members and guest speakers on all aspects of family history and general history.
