I will redact other email addresses and just forward them the details about the possibility of contributing an addition to the Concealed Shoe archive.

We also keep a concealed shoe database here at the museum, which was set up by Miss June Swann who was the shoe curator here at the museum from 1950 until she retired in 1988. At the moment the index stands at approximately 2,000 separate find entries from all over the U.K and also records concealed shoe finds in North America, Canada, and a number of countries in Europe including France, Spain and Poland. In total 3,000 shoes have been found with other things too like paper, marbles, pottery etc. I would like to add your find to the database. You have provided some information. Information we record if known is: Address of building Date of the building if known and date of any alterations / building work What the building was / is such as a private house, pub, farm, etc. Where it was found within the building What if anything else was found with it Description of the footwear Date of the footwear If you send me more images I’ll be able to provide you with more information on style and date. I can also send you more information on concealed shoes in general.

There aren’t any pairs and we think they may have been concealed as a protective charm. The plan is for them to go on display in the Crescent when it re-opens. Does anyone have any idea when they might date from, or any insight? ☺ Thanks, Anna Anna Rhodes Assistant Collections Officer Buxton Museum and Art Gallery Working hours: Mondays, Tuesdays and alternate Wednesdays 01629 533542 Terrace Road, Buxton, Derbyshire, SK17 6DA Our 18th century watercolours of Derbyshire are now online, visit www.depictingderbyshire.uk<http://www.depictingderbyshire.uk/> This email or email thread section has been classified CONTROLLED - This email requires controlled access by Council personnel and / or intended recipient(s) only.
