A new display in the shop window in reception features shoes from the museum collection. A celebration of the many shoe shops that have historically traded in Thame.
Do you remember Copes Shoe Shop at 6 Buttermarket? Do you know anyone who used to buy their shoes there before they closed their doors in the 1970s.
Martin & Silver was another well known shoe and clothing shop that closed in the 1980s, Situated in an historic mid-17th-century Grade II listed building this shop was located at 17 Buttermarket in Thame, now Clinton Cards.
We welcome any memories you may have of purchasing shoes from either of these shops. Do pop in and speak to the stewards on reception, or email publicity@thamemuseum.org
