 hosiery, milanese), leather, furniture, clothing (especially women's and

This variety of material, product and process (along with the building, 

 transport, commercial, financial and professional activities) has two very 

 important consequences for the area. In the first place there is an outlet 

 for every type of ability, manual, managerial and administrative, technical, 

 scientific and artistic, and there is scope for most kinds of occupational 

 interest. Such variety of occupational possibilities is good for the individ- 

 ual members of the community and it is good for the area itself. Possibly 

 Nottingham's high degree of adaptability to changing economic circum- 

 stances, to which we shall refer later, is in some measure related to this.
