The Luton museum has a small lace gallery where they regularly change what is
on display. Still worth a visit, in my opinion.Â
The Higgins in Bedford has the Thomas Lester collection - some of the more
famous pieces are on display and you can request to see the other pieces. While
the public display is relatively, if you want to see the Lester pieces you
ahould definitely go.
Both places aren't too far from me. If you have time it would be great to meet
up and catch up.

There is a possibility that I may be going to the UK on a business trip in
December, to the Millbrook Testing facility in Bedford.�� Looking at a map
showed me that Luton is directly on the way between Heathrow and Bedford.
So��my question is whether there is anything to see there, given that I
already��have the book and CD of the Luton Dealer's Pattern Book.�� Do
they
have much of a collection beyond that? And if so, how hard is it to get to see
it?--I have specific interests so I'm not asking just to root around in their
collection. But I don't think I could get away with taking more than a day.
Any info or recommendation would be appreciated. Also, is there anything lacy
in Bedford?
