Date:March 1983
Description:A model is pictured dressed in spring or summer fashions as she walks along the catwalk at a fashion show held in the Great Hall at Ingestre Hall. Ingestre Hall was built by Sir Walter Chetwynd in 1613. By the eighteenth century it had been acquired by the Talbots, who remodelled parts of the hall in the early 1800s. The Talbots became the Earls of Shrewsbury in 1856. After a fire in 1882 John Birch was employed to restore the building. Ingestre Hall remained in the hands of the same family until it was sold in 1960 to what is now Sandwell Council, who use the Hall as a Residential Arts Centre and a venue for weddings, meetings and courses.
