Comments:

There is no woven credit on this silk, and it was probably intended to be mounted either as a picture or as a card.
However, Gillian has been able to authenticate this silk as being a Brough Nicholson & Hall manufacture, from ex-employees, in particular from a former weaver there, whose niece was her next-door-neighbour. In particular, he verified items that were un-named.

 
As a late addition, Pete Cave who used to work as a designer for J & J CASH, has an excellent reference site. On that site he discusses the involvement of CASH'S with COPECREST. He notes that CASH'S made many of the COPECREST silks, but not all. By way of example, he shows a first day cover, with the COPECREST woven insert of THE MOON LANDING. Pete notes that " I saw this weaving in Cash's design room. Weaving by Brough, Nicholson & Hall Ltd ".
This of course confirms that this particular silk was made by Brough, Nicholson & Hall, just as Gillian Cooper reported.
