framed carpet picture of the Palace of Westminster., created by Southwell carpets, Bridgnorth. Printed description of the making of the picture. Houses of Parliament Carpet - (source 'Shropshire Star' article). Woven at Kidderminster as one of a series depicting English scenes which were produced at Bridgnorth and Kidderminster. Donated to the Museum by Mr and Mrs Minton of Bridgnorth. She was involved with setting the pattern. Quality control rejected it as some of the threads were wrong so it was raffled off at 6d (old pence) a ticket. She won it and they framed it as a souvenier of where she worked rather than use it on the floor.
