Thankyou to everyone who came to our most recent event
"IF THE SHOE FITS" on Sunday 20th September. We hope that you enjoyed our most informative display. Many of the shoes were on loan to us for the day from the collection of the
National Trust - South Australia. Sandy Whitelaw, the Curator of the Natonal Trust SA Costume Collection, gave a very entertaining talk on the history of shoes. Did you know that right up to the 1850's there was no left or right shoe? We learn something new every day eh?
Here are some photos from yesterday.
