| Research Sources | Nottinghamshire Colonists to South Africa 1820 | 112 | Nottingham was going through a difficult period from 1816 to 1820, and a great number of the framework knitters were finding a hard time making any money at all due to a depression in the market for hosiery, brought about by mechanisation. Families were starving, children died in alarming numbers, and the people looked to the councillors of the town for financial assistance. The town couldn't afford such massive amounts of support, and so in conjunction with the government, arranged for a large number of people to be "removed" to the Cape Colony. This is the story of those colonists, from their troubles in Nottingham, through their journey, and during the first year of their settlement in South Africa. |
