Question

why did London came to be known as finishing centre

Answer 1

As we all know, we, Indians were under the British imperial rule during the pre independent period.. we are also familiar with the fact that all the Raw materials were exported from India to England in order to process them in the industries present in England and make them into finished goods.. Hence, London is called as a finishing centre.

Answer 2

A merchant clothier in England purchased wool from a wool stapler, and carried it to the spinners; the yarn ( thread ) that was spun was taken in subsequent stages of production to weavers, fullers, and then to dyers. The finishing was done in London before the export merchants sold the cloth in the international market. This is how London came to know as the "finishing centre".
