Description
by Catherine Pincott-Allen (Author)
From lunatic asylums and domestic violence to love stories, success, bankruptcy and suicide, these are just a few of the stories unpicked from the small four-holed tailor's buttons The Field Detectives have found in Nottinghamshire. People and families have been brought back to life through the names and places branded on these simple buttons, which made their way onto the fields around the Grantham Canal via the Nottingham night soil collections throughout the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.
Catherine Pincott-Allen has meticulously researched each of the tailors featured, and their stories are voiced through newspaper reports, parish records and other historical documents.
Not every button found belonged to a Nottingham tailor; many of them came from as far away as Scotland and London.
Little Buttons Telling Big Stories aims to appeal to people interested in Nottingham's history and those with tailors in their ancestry. Also, any metal detecting enthusiasts who may have found one of the buttons and would like to learn more about them.
Who would think that something so small could tell such big stories?
