Beamish January 2015

This is a typical parlour
in  a 1950s home at Beamish
 

                                                            both rooms take me back to
                                                                     my child hood

 
This hoover was the same we had at home

 
Here are a few garments from the Beamish collection
they have in their archives
 
Close up of a dress with detailed ties through
eyelets

 
1950s button detail, 3/4 sleeves dress
with piped edged rolled collar
 

                                               

                                                               Teddy Boy Jacket below
                                                         

 
This belted full length dress, sleeves with
shaped turn-ups


 
Black leather lace up shoe with small heal

 
And this hat which sits on the back of
the head with peak and side detail held
on with a hat pin
 

 
 
I would like to thank Beamish Museum for all their help
