Description: | Local significance
Collections relate to Thomas Cook, Daniel Lambert, Joe Orton. Collections representing these local personalities are Thomas Cook's rickshaw (with his letter that authenticates it) and Joe Orton's life mask (documented in his diary). Daniel Lambert memorabilia and a portrait of him by Benjamin Marshall enable us to tell the story of the Leicester bridewell, where he was gaoler in the late 18th Century. | Subjects: | Personal papers Personal narratives Personal property | Temporal: | 20th century - early 1900-1930 18th century - late 1776-1799 20th century - mid 1931-1970 19th century - early 1800-1836 19th century - mid Victorian 1851-1875 | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 0116 247 0403 | Telephone: | 0116 247 3220 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:5140 | Go to resource |
