It was Fashion student who this week asked me in the Park Square LRC to help find some information on the decline of the British textile industry. It was an unusual request because the student wanted to look at this topic over a long period, and not just the state of the industry now.
There were several articles on Business Source Premier, but in a way these were a little too detailed. Newsbank database was better for this purpose. Many of the Financial Times stories included a historical overview of the topic.
Here are a couple of facts which charted the decline :
(a) As long ago as 1990 one hundred jobs were lost each day in the UK textile industry
(b) Compare this with the 1900's when 25% of the world's textile trade was UK based
My keywords "textile industry", decline and britain ( in three separate search boxes )

It is unfortunate that Textile Manufacture in the UK is declining. Textile related education should be given to the students to learn textile designing Technical knowledge, Commercial awareness of textile industry.
