This is a dress in thick grey fabric with black trim. It was said to have been worn by Emma Pool, the mother of Alfred J. Pool, an engineer from Chipstable, Somerset, when she got married circa 1840, but the style of the dress dates to 1860s. It was purchased by the donor at an auction of the estate of Alfred J. Pool on his death in 1957.

Letter from MERL to Prof. W. E. Minchinton, 19 February 1965 – ‘He [Alfred J. Pool] was a general engineer at Chipstable in North Devon and he also was quite active in taking photographs between 1880 and 1900. His forebears had been craftsmen in the village. His father died in 1907 at the age of 90 and one gathers that the family did everything from wheel-wrighting to coffin making. It also appears that his grandfather and grandmother kept a shop in the village where they sold groceries and draperies, which was carried on until 1946 by Mr. Poole’s sister.’
