📸This Then & Now-𝘪𝘴𝘩 takes us right near Town Bridge!
🛻We love seeing the vintage traffic on Wicker Hill, including an old-school Esso tanker and a classic delivery van.
🏭The Blind House is hidden behind the trees but you can spot the tall industrial chimney and buildings of Innox Mill towering in the background

❌Equal pay, voting rights, or owning property? 𝑵𝒐𝒑𝒆.

This Victorian poem from our collection perfectly sums up what a woman wants...
✨ The Right to Labour (𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘺, 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶)
✨ The Right to Wake While Others Sleep (𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦!)
✨ The Right to Weep, Pray, and Comfort Others (𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭-𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵)

🙃It’s a fascinating (and deeply ironic) look back at Victorian expectations of womanhood, framing relentless domestic duty and self-sacrifice as a grand privilege.

🫘Proof that incredible things can come in tiny packages! Check out these two mini carvings from our collection...

🔴 This hollowed-out seed, likely from a Red Sandalwood tree, holds a tiny, hand-carved bone or ivory elephant inside. Traditionally given as good luck charms

🍒 Using immense patience, makers turned ordinary cherry stones into miniature works of art, carving delicate patterns and even unbroken chain links from a single stone

✨Have you visited WEFT yet?

🧶Our latest exhibition explores the wonderful world of textiles, highlighting the innovative ways contemporary artists are keeping traditional crafts alive with modern interpretations.

🪡It is remarkable to see how the same cross-stitch techniques Victorians once used for alphabet and verse samplers in our collection are now being used to create such intricate portraits.
