Description: | Eleven deteriorating fragments of a leather shoe found in a wall at Collfryn, Bethesda Bach.Child's shoe with oval toe, probably dating to the 16th or 17th century. Evidence of stitches visible on the base of the sole, the quarters and the vamp. The long, narrow sections appear to be the remains of the rand. It is likely that the shoe was made of welted construction, possibly on a straight last.The shoe is in poor condition: all sections are dry and brittle, and several seem to also have mould on the surface.Dimensions given below relate to the sole.
