Camperdown Works : ウィキペディア英語版 | Camperdown Works Camperdown Works was a jute works in Dundee, Scotland, which covered around 30 acres and at one point employed over 14,000 mostly female workers. It was for a time the world's largest jute works and was owned by Cox Brothers. ==Origins== The Cox family was connected with the linen trade in Lochee from the early 18th century when a member of the Cox family was a small manufacturer in the area. In 1827 James Cock (subsequently known as Cox),the son of James Cock of Foggyley and Helen Scott, assumed control of the family business and in 1841 formed a copartnery with his brothers, William Cox, Thomas Hunter Cox and George Addison Cox. The firm was quick to adopt the most recent improvements and moved over from the linen trade to jute. In 1849 they began construction of Camperdown Works, in Lochee and within a few years all of their operations relating to the manufacture of jute were carried out in these works.
