Victorian Working Women

Step back into Victorian Harleston and uncover the often-overlooked contributions of women in the workplace. This engaging display brings to life the varied and vital roles women held within the town, offering a glimpse into their daily lives, skills and working conditions.

Visitors can explore the experiences of women in domestic service, as well as those working as straw hat makers, milliners, dressmakers and glovers – industries that combined craftsmanship with economic necessity.

Join us for this engaging celebration of Harleston’s social history and discover how the contributions of local women helped shape the town’s character and economy.
