Manchester - Platt Hall
Platt Hall, an elegant Georgian house (Wilmslow Road/ Rusholme) built in 1764, presents an overview of English fashion and costume from 1600 to the present day.
This is perhaps the only collection which rivals that found in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The main body of the collection was a gift from C. W. Cunnington, an early collector and writer of many books on the subject of dress history.
Strengths of the collection include excellent examples of everyday dress.
