History Wardrobe presents: WOOL, JET & WHALEBONE
Celebrating 200 years of fashionable life in Whitby.
Come and join Lucy Adlington & Meridith Towne for this well-dressed history of Whitby women, featuring herring girls & holiday makers, cake-bakers & corsetry. We’ll explore the fascinating connections between clothes & local industry, showcasing original garments – from wooly swimsuits to luxurious mourning wear. The is a second chance to see the show which was specially commissioned for
the bicentenary of Whitby Museum last year.
