About this event

Free online talk – the Rag Trade in Camborne and What Women Wore

Join us for this illustrated online talk with Suzanne Wall and discover the extraordinary history of Camborne’s rag trade, where we’ll also be looking at what women were wearing over the past 200 years.

From a poor law clothing ledger to Tea Treat photographs – we’ll have a closer look at women’s fashion in Camborne. Discover the fascinating history of factories such as Langridge’s underwear factory and Jaquemand, and the women making the clothes.

You can book your free place via our Ticket Tailor booking page.

The online talk will be delivered via Zoom. If you are unable to attend this online talk live, there’s no need to book a ticket as we will share the online talk on our YouTube channel shortly afterwards.
