About this event
In the 1920s and 30s, there was a textile factory at the bottom of The Island in St Ives. Employing local people, it was called Crysede and produced wood-block printed silk fabrics and garments.
Understanding a company through its national press coverage provides a new perspective on local history. Until recently this has been an untapped resource. With access to on-line newspapers, Janet Axten, who has been researching Crysede for many years, shows how the rise and fall of Crysede Silks was publicised to a wide public.
Janet is a researcher, writer and lecturer; for many years she has specialised in the history of the St Ives area and the artists who have lived and worked in the community.
