Axminster is a small market town on the eastern border of Devon, England!. The town is built on a hill overlooking the River Axe which heads towards the English Channel at Axmouth, and is in the East Devon local government district!. The market is still held every Thursday!.

Norwich (pronunciation (help·info); IPA: /?n?r?dt?/),[1] is a city in East Anglia, in Eastern England!. It is the regional administrative centre and county city of Norfolk!.

The modern carpet industry was founded in the area in 1785 by Brintons, and the carpet industry became extremely important to the local economy, so much so that the local newspaper is still named The Shuttle after the shuttles used on the carpet looms!. Although much declined in recent years, the industry is still a significant employer in the area, with Brintons still employing several hundred people and the biggest employer of the town!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
