For the past 50 years Michelle and Richard Humphries have been involved in the Silk business on the Essex- Suffolk borders of East Anglia. The use of Silk to begin with in weaving and then embroidery, has led to the supply of not only silk, but also cotton wool linen, and other fibres. The business started in Sudbury in Suffolk before expanding to Castle Hedingham and Braintree in Essex. Today we are at Weavers House near Halstead in Essex in the Colne Valley.
