Manage episode 443208643 series 3605045
Made in the mid-20th century
Given by Christopher Southorn in 2009
These are part of a group of 101 shoes, tools and accessories from Southorn’s shoemakers. The shop on the Parade was a mainstay of Leamington’s retail offer for much of the 19th and 20th centuries. During this time, the offer evolved, from providing handmade riding boots, to selling ready-to-wear shoes such as these. The stories of local businesses can tell us a lot about how everyday ways of life change over time.
