More about this scene

The mechanisation of the traditional cloth industry created the Chalford we see today. But other nearby Cotswold villages suffered as traditional methods were abandoned, making them unable to compete with newer technology. This may be why so many neighbouring villages appear to be frozen in time—there was little need and no money to construct new buildings.
