Souvenir Handkerchiefs

Brunel Museum, 2023

I had been a volunteer at the Brunel Museum since September 2020 and during that time two items in the collection had caught my interest - a pair of Thames Tunnel souvenir handkerchiefs. The museum wanted to know more about the objects and I was excited to be asked to conduct that research, with funding from the Madeleine Ginsburg grant from the Association of Dress Historians. I was able to view the two handkerchiefs at the London Metropolitan Archive and I produced a video and blogpost to share my research.

Read about the fascinating souvenir handkerchiefs in the Brunel Museum collection in my blogpost produced to mark 180 years since the grand opening of the completed Thames Tunnel on 25th March 1843.
