I wonder if any of these machines were used in Honiton, Devon? I am aware there used to be a company mass producing lace in Honiton, although hand made lace making eventually out lived the mechanical powered method.

What a cheerful couple. Anyone would think they'd been at a funeral, not their wedding.

Is the "clipping" subtitle in the right place, or out of order?

Honiton didn't produce lace. Tiverton has a Lace Factory (Heathcoats) they didn't produce lace they made the netting which then went on to be embroidered. The machines used at Tiverton were the Bobbinet Machines. Bobbinet machines are still in use today in our factory, Swisstulle (Somerset).

I've heard that there are lace making machines in Ireland that have been making lace for 200 years...

@RV1864 And think about how our life was more simple that theirs.
