Description: | These ice-skates date from the 1920s. The separate metal blades are attached to the boots with leather straps. Skating has been for a long time a means of travel in countries with cold climates. The first skates were made of animal bones. In the 17th century the Dutch started to use wooden skates with metal blades. By the late 19th century skating had become not only a means of travel but also a well established sport. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East clothes sport leisure men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
