"Hangers: A Journey Through Time and Trades" Step into the world of hangers, where their significance goes beyond mere organization. From underground straphangers to tailors in bustling workshops, these humble objects have witnessed a myriad of stories unfold. In Cunard White Star's assorted items collection, hangers stand as silent witnesses to the glamorous voyages embarked upon by elegant passengers aboard luxurious ships. Meanwhile, at Port Columbus in Ohio, USA, they hold memories of travelers' adventures and dreams taking flight. Picture a tailor's workshop buzzing with creativity; three people meticulously crafting garments while relying on trusty hangers to keep fabrics taut and ready for transformation. These same tools were once used by RAF pilots during World War I when aerial-target practice was crucial for defense. London Underground's District line is synonymous with strap-hanging commuters gripping onto hangers for stability as trains speed through tunnels beneath the city streets. Similarly, the Panavia MRCA Tornado prototype soared above Bedfordshire skies from Cardington Airfield (formerly RAF Cardington), showcasing its might while hanging securely within aircraft hangars. William Plowman's engraved trade card captures an era when craftsmanship reigned supreme – his expertise as a plumber and bell hanger celebrated through intricate designs etched onto metal surfaces. And let us not forget J Bradwell’s colored engraving trade card depicting him as a skilled whitesmith and iron founder - his work essential in creating sturdy hooks that held everything from keys to pots and pans. As we delve deeper into history, British artists at the front immortalize aerodromes on canvas – vast spaces where planes rest before soaring high above enemy lines. Hangers become symbols of hope amidst chaos; guardians protecting brave aviators who risked it all for freedom. From London to Ohio, from wartime battlegrounds to modern-day fashion studios – they have silently played their part throughout time.
