On the 28th August 1207, King John created the Borough of Liverpool.

JAWS was released 50 years ago today. Regarded the first summer blockbuster and a landmark of Hollywood, the making of story is so crazy it begs the question of how it was ever made…

There is a vaguely seaside theme to this busy mid #1870s gown, deckchair stripes and sea blue trim a cheery combination. I wonder if it was a promenade dress for some beach front strolling? @Fashion_Museum #fashionhistory
