  • Imports, Mechanisation and the Decline of the English Plaiting Industry: the View from the Hatters' Gazette, Luton 1873-1900
    Imports, Mechanisation and the Decline of the English Plaiting Industry: the View from the Hatters’ Gazette, Luton 1873-1900 Catherine Robinson Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MA by Research June 2016 Acknowledgments This dissertation would not have been possible without the kindness, encouragement, help and support of Sarah Lloyd and Julie Moore from the History Department at the University of Hertfordshire. I would like to thank Veronica Main who was the Significant Collections Curator during my research time at Luton’s Wardown Park Museum, for all her help and support; it was Veronica’s suggestion to research the decline of the plaiting industry. Veronica shared her passion for the straw hat and plait industries with me, welcomed me into the museum, facilitated my research of the Hatters’ Gazette, showed me the collections and shared her immense expertise. Being at Wardown Park Museum and reading the 19th century Hatters’ Gazette and being able to see and study the hats and plaits themselves, was a truly remarkable experience and one that I shall always treasure. I would also like to thank the staff at Wardown Park Museum for making my time researching not only fascinating but also so enjoyable. I would like to thank Elise Naish, Museums Collections Manager, for allowing me to research the Hatters’ Gazette at the museum during a very busy time for staff. I would like to thank Mary Miah for all her help – from getting the volumes of the Hatters’ Gazette out ready for my research, to scanning old documents and photographing images to be used in this research, to sharing her work space – thank you Mary.
