Exhibition – Twenties Takeover

The ‘Twenties Takeover’ exhibition offers a glimpse into different aspects of the decade, including everyday items like clothing, art and homeware.

Items on display include a Georgette evening dress, purchased by a member of Eccleshall’s Hudson family, that captures the ornate and iconic styles that swept the 1920s. There are also numerous medicines of the time unopened for a century and a stunning selection of ladies’ shoes.

While the trauma of the war cast a long shadow over the decade, the 1920s saw Britain rebuild in an era of great change. Through the exhibition, visitors can explore this era of challenge, renewal and transformation.

Exhibition by the Staffordshire History Centre.

The exhibition will be running during usual Ancient High House opening hours, Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 4pm.
