The timeless trench coat
I previously confessed to a friend that I only ever wear my trench coat open. “What’s the point in having a coat that you don’t do up?” she asked. My reasoning was that I had always felt a trench, when undone, can create a gorgeous silhouette. The long lines draw the eye down from the neat collar, into a more fluid, airy cape shape. Worn closed, the trench coat can look matronly on my size 14 figure – tight, and constrictive across the bust. It’s a fair-weather coat, I argued.

She was the queen of the music hall, one of the biggest stars in the land.
But when Marie Lloyd came to Norwich in the early 1900s she balked at being asked to adjust her behaviour and performance.
At the time, women faced tremendous challenges carving a space for their careers especially in such a public role as an entertainer. The man inviting her to the city was Frederick William Fitt, who had some unwelcome words of advice for this much-loved entertainer.
