The top hat found during At The Heart of Drypool community excavations has featured a lot on our social media pages but it could have easily have been missed in the soil - here are some photos taken before conservation.

This style of hat introduced in the 1790s became the most iconic hat associated with 19th century men’s fashion. This example is made of felt, with a fine textile lining.

The exhibition at The Streetlife Museum runs until Sunday 9th November where you can see it in all it's glory!
