I used to live in an area of London which had been the home of Huguenot weavers, who had settled there after fleeing religious persecution in their native France in the 17th century. Walking around my neighbourhood, I always enjoyed finding street names that made reference to weaving and it caused me to think about how they had been able to form a new community where I now lived.
