A Stitch in Time

Featuring a selection of garments, accessories and footwear from the Museum’s costume collection, this exhibition celebrates Warrington’s finest tailors, milliners and cobblers, working throughout the town’s history, to keep Warrington’s residents ‘clothed and booted’. From Gandy’s Clogmakers on Mersey Street, Hodgkinsons Ltd on Bridge Street to Burtons Shirt Factory on the Causeway, the skill and knowledge of the town’s costumiers of the past are highlighted, along with some of the magnificent uniforms and civic regalia within the costume collection.
