Detailed Solution

London was known as a "finishing centre". Though the merchants' business was based in the towns, the work was mainly done in the countryside. For example, England's clothier merchants purchased wool from a stapler in the countryside. Then the wool was carried to the spinner for yarn (thread) formation, further to weavers and fullers for subsequent stages. Finally, the cloth was sent to dyers, who were the entire countryside workforce. Before the export of fabric to the international market, finishing was done in London, a well-established town. Thus London was also known as a finishing centre.
