A rare chance to see real working class garments. Glimpse the realities of working life in yesteryear: these ephemeral textiles tend not to survive and tell a very different story to the finer costumes in our stores. 

Our spotlight talks take place in the Staffordshire History Centre exhibition space – there is no need to book, just come along. These short 15 minute talks are designed to introduce visitors to highlights from our collections.

This is a free event but all donations support us to care for our collections.
