Bonnetmakers

No 5: Nine Incorporated Trades
It was bright and I'd been in the office all morning so I took a walk over to the hospital at lunchtime to get a pic of the next in this occasional series.
(If you want to see the earlier ones this is a link to No 4 and from there are links backwards).
Until the latter part of last year there was a multi (storey block of flats) called Bonnethill Court in town which was on the Hilltown (nicknamed Bonnet-Hill), the area where the bonnetmakers worked outside their houses in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
