Description: | Nantwich was noted for its leather, salt and clockmaking trades. In 1583, a fire raged through the town destroying many of the timber-framed dwellings. Residents, although aware of the risks of building in wood, rebuilt most of their homes in timber. The house in this drawing probably dates back to that period. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Blore, Edward | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
