One of my second year projects is to write an essay on the history of the corset so i decided to start by going to see the Symington corsetry collection at Snibston Discovery Park in Coalville, Leicester. The day started off as a complete disaster as we got off at the wrong bus stop and ended up completely lost, to make matters worse it then started pouring hard, we called about 4 different taxi services to come get us but they were all busy. I finally managed to get a cab and 2 hours after leaving home we arrived. The fashion gallery and corset collection was pretty impressive and definately worth a visit if you are interested in fashion at all and theres plenty to do for all ages.
Here are some of the photos i took:
looks like a fantastic collection! i'm glad it made up for all the rain, getting lost, etc.
