| Notes / History | This image shows a young woman wearing a crinoline (a stiff petticoat, designed to hold out a woman’s skirt) and what was known as a ‘pork-pie’ hat. This type of fashion was starting to diminish by the late 1870’s. Behind the lady, the bridge at The Grove, Carshalton can be seen. |
