Ribbon weaver

[Judy M]

I am looking for some more information on ribbon weaving and illustrations especially as carried on in Coventry from abt 1700-1800s where I know it was a big industry.
Was it a cottage industry or big factory?
I know Cash's started off there.

Can anyone help.?

If you use the three keywords below in your search engine (I used google) lots of sites came up. I haven't looked at them, but I'm pretty sure you will find what you are looking for.
