Discovering how a Welsh town is taking on the world’s fashion capitals Daily Times(PK) The homely market town of Cardigan has suffered its fair share of knocks over the years. Once a booming port, its prosperity dwindled with the shift to the railway in the late 19th Century. Later, its fortunes became inextricably tied to the town’s denim factory, which churned out 35,000 pairs of jeans every week for firms such as M&S over nearly 40 years. When production moved to cheaper Morocco in 2002, the factory closed, devastating the local economy and leaving 400 of the 4,000 population unemployed. Yet recently, this remote corner of West Wales has quietly rebuilt itself as a progressive, arty enclave, with all the charms of Cornwall, for instance, but none of the crowds. The quayside has been rebuilt, old shopfronts restored and its Norman castle given a £12 million makeover.
