Description: | This photograph shows Cullercoats fishwives. Fishwives sold fish door to door around the North East from large baskets called creels. Cullercoats fishwives were easy to spot in their distinctive dress of a jacket, shawl and ankle-length skirt made of dark blue or black wool flannel. They also wore a money pocket, tied around their waist like an apron. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.socialhistory.452478 | Go to resource |
