Cloth Export
By 1500 Calderdale cloth was widely exported.
Merchants bought Kerseys at the Halifax market and arranged transport
to the continent where there was great demand.
 The
Fellowship of Merchant Adventurers (see banner opposite) and
the Eastland Company exported woollen cloth to Europe.
In medieval Europe no one could legally trade
unless they became a member of a merchant company.
