After the 1953 Coronation a sample of ‘Queensway’ was offered towards a gown for the Rector of Imperial College but it was never made 🪡
‘Queensway’ was designed by Robert Goodden and woven in Braintree by Warner & Sons. ‘Queensway’ was hung throughout @wabbey for the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. See this design on display at Braintree Museum. Plan your visit: braintreemuseum.co.uk/ #Coronation

Did you know? The hoardings surrounding our Victoria Square project were inspired by textiles from the Warner Textile Archive in #Braintree. Opened in 1895, it became a luxurious high end weaving company, receiving commissions from Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. 👸👗
