Description: | Proggy or clippy mats were popular in the North East. They are often associated with mining areas as they were hard wearing and absorbed the dirt. This mat has the traditional navy blue edging and 'mixy' centre, consisting of mixed clippings - a useful combination against the dirt of pit boots. Dating from the 1930s to 1950s. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East craft home life made in the North East women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
