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.
