Have you ever walked down Stamford High Street and marvelled at the number of shops selling clothes and shoes in a small market town? In another in her series about the artisans and tradespeople in Stamford, Philippa looks at the people who made and traded in garments and footwear, who clothed and shod the townspeople, and how the wool and leather industries affected these trades, from the medieval period to the present day.
