Wool production was a major part of the economy in medieval times and was described as "the jewel in the realm". In more recent history the industrial revolution with the introduction of more efficient transportation transformed many cities, but none more than Leeds, which was said to be built on wool. ​The demise for the demand for British wool happened in the mid 1960's when cheaper imports started to flood the UK.
​
