Does anyone know what a birmingham or burlingham gown is? A student has been in contact with me asking and I'm really not sure, I cant say I'd heard the term before. I can only assume it is made from fabric manufacted there? Apparently the reference comes from a quote from a historian regarding the slave trade.
