The Master Hosier's house, which is now the home of the Wigston Framework Knitters Museum. THis wall shows clearly how the house evolved over the centuries. The museum seems to have at least two websites. To quote from one of them:
"The Master Framework Knitters House & Workshop at 42-44 Bushloe End, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18 2BA is of the late 17th century, thought to have been built in 1695, probably as a farmhouse. It came into framework knitting in 1764 and continued as such until it closed finally in 1948/9.
It is the only working frameshop left with, its frames in situ, in the County and that has National recognition. 42-44 Bushloe End is a Grade II* listed building, originally purchased by the Borough of Oadby & Wigston in 1986 to ensure its preservation. In 2006, The Borough Council agreed to 'Gift' the premises to the Oadby & Wigston Buildings Preservation Trust, who have had responsibility for the up-keep of the museum and buildings since 1986. The gifting was a part of an agreement with The Heritage Lottery Fund to enable grant aid to be provided both for repairs and the building of an interpretation centre. (The Yarn Room).
An external inspection of the buildings show quite clearly the stages of development. The random stone plinth, visible to the front and east side of the house, may indicate that an earlier building stood upon the site. Interestingly to be noted is the brick decoration to the house front, both in flashed headers and diaper work. This is consistent with the period and other examples can be seen in villages around. The 1695 structure was of two floors, the second floor being of later date, probably around 1780 and prior to 1784 when the 'Brick Tax' was introduced and the narrow 'Tudor' brick gave way to bricks of 3 inch thickness. The East and West side elevations of the house show quite clearly the building up for the second floor.
The house interior is left in its late 19th century mode except in the kitchen where some acknowledgement to the early 20th century has been made.
Not only is this site important in terms of industrial archaeology, it also brings to life a part of the sociological scene throughout the 19th century and following the hardships created by the 'Enclosures Act' of 1766. Hand-Frame knitting dates from 1589, the date of invention by William Lee of the stocking frame. However, the frame was first introduced to Leicesteshire c1640.
The two storey frame-shop, across the yard from the house, contains eight knitting-frames and a demonstration frame. Built in 1890, this brick building with its typical long windows affording natural light to both sides of the workshop at ground and first floor level is the real gem of the museum."
This outfit evolved during the day, as I set off wearing a different skirt and scarf, but couldn't resist changing into the items I bought at the fair!
Scarf, skirt and ring - "All Things Vintage and Festive" fair at local hotel (I think they are all more festive than vintage though!)

I'm posing with a giant legume pod from southeast Asia. It's no surprise that this pod looks so much like a pea pod. They both come from the same family (Leguminosae) and have similar (homologous) structures. A homologous structure we are all familiar with is backbones in vertebrate animals. Homologous features indicate that certain organisms share a common ancestor. Humans and other vertebrates evolved from a common vertebrate ancestor and legumes evolved from a common pod-forming ancestor.
Please join me in my blog “Botany Without Borders: Where Design Meets Science”

Plant homology is not always as obvious as the giant bean pod I'm holding here.
This picture reminds me of a question involving our built environments. Do they have to be big to be successful? Can we get the job done by designing something smaller? I think it's worth considering how we can conserve space and other resources by designing smaller, more effective built environments.
