Jude, I should be really interested to know more about your rag rugs, dated around 1900. Can you tell me anything further about their history, and appearance?Do you live in the Yorkshire area?

[...] At Gods Own County we are still collecting reports about hobbies and pastimes with a national interest but a local flavour.

The smaller society with more items to view is the Pylon Appreciation Society and you could also join the Rag Ruggers. [...]

I would ask your local auction house if they have any interest in, or can give a valuation on your collection.
Good Luck

Seeing these pictures of the rag rugs,reminded me of my childhood in Dewsbury where my Great grandmother and my grandmother were both rag sorters and they made rag rugs that were all over their homes as a child I well remember helping to hang them on the line in the back yard and beating them with a large cain beater just a memory of rag rugs Syd

These two lovely rugs are made by Linda Murray, who is a member of the West Riding Ruggers, who meet at Bradford industrial Museum. In November 2009 we have an exhibition at Tolson Museum in Huddersfield. Please see their web page for details. Penny
