Northampton has a proud history of shoe manufacturing and to celebrate this Northampton Museum's Hidden Histories project has recorded the memories of local people who worked in the industry from 1948 to the present day. This teaching and learning package draws on their stories and other sources, and uses the interactive Northampton's Shoemakers Remembered as a starting point.
The pack meets objectives from the History and Citizenship schemes of work as well as the Literacy framework and supports pupils' investigation of how a local industry and its community has changed in 60 years.
Further Resources
The project has allowed a thorough documentation of the social and industrial history of shoe manufacturing and has maximized the accessibility of the information by creating a DVD and an audio-visual interactive resource which can be viewed at the museum.
