For a well-dressed man about town – and we're talking about Bridgnorth – Jones & Hawkins was the place to go.
A rare view of Jones & Hawkins, which was at 2 Waterloo Terrace in Bridgnorth.Historically Bridgnorth is renowned for its carpet-making heritage. But you don't often, if at all, hear about its top hats, although admittedly there's a question mark over whether Jones & Hawkins merely sold them, or actually made their own.In any event, a rare find by David Spruce has provided an intriguing glimpse into this aspect of the town's past.
"I recently acquired a lovely leather case and to my surprise inside it was a immaculate top hat which is thought to date back to about 1903. I was fascinated by the name Jones & Hawkins."
