W S Foster and Henry Maxwell Slippers


Shoemaker Peal & Co (1565-1965) were especially famed for their slippers. The head lastmaker at W S Foster and Henry Maxwell is Terry Moore, who was apprenticed at Peal & Co. Here are some examples of the slippers that these firms are still turning out. Photograph by courtesy of Wolf Media.
