Greetings, everyone~ Longtime lurker delurking here.
I have a good friend who is traveling to England about two weeks from now. She will be visiting the area around York, Durham and Leeds and is looking for textile, costume and/or needlework museums and/or collections in that general part of England. Her specific area of interest is pre-1650 embroidery in any form (garments, hangings, book covers, etc.), particularly Elizabethan needlework. Does anyone know of such places in that area? Any recommendations? Do they allow photographs? Also, someone once told her about a museum named the Nottingham Textile & Costume Museum which supposedly had a very large collection of Elizabethan embroideries, etc. However, this museum supposedly closed shortly after her informant visited it. She thought it was located on Castle Road in Nottingham. We have found a mention of the museum on a "what to see in Nottingham" website and that seems to indicate the museum is currently open. Does anyone know anything about this one? Any assistance would be appreciated.
