Fortunately now there are great things happening to try to restore and regenerate the Baily's building. <br />I wanted to ask whether either of the other commenters would be willing to be in touch about their Baily's products? I am co-ordinating a locale industrial heritage project about Morlands and Baily's and I would love to see these items. If you would be willing to get in touch please drop me an e mail on heritage@redbrickbuilding.co.uk<br />Best wishes, and keeping my fingers crossed!

I have an identical pair to the original ones with the Baileys of Glastonbury on the cuffs,which were given to an open charity in Somerset that Cooper attended and signed the gloves. My bid won and I have had had them for many years.<br /><br />I really would love to find out any background and whether there could have been a spare pair made and he decided to donate them later. It was prior to him becoming a Sir and apart from being there when he signed them as authentic. <br /><br />Any information would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.<br /><br />Alison TurnerAlison Turnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-44681260882946131652016-09-06T22:11:03.862+01:002016-09-06T22:11:03.862+01:00Hi I enjoyed your informative article.

Im tryimg to date a sheepskin jacket by Baileys of Glastonbury I have owned for years and it is nice to learn about its history as a whole community were involved. Do you by chance know anyone who would know when it was made? It has thick sheepskin so is a shearling, dark brown with sheepskin showing on slightly slanted front pockets & has YKK zips. I love it & will wear it 4 rest of my life so appreciate all the hard work & skill and craftmanship that was put into making it. Thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725768966061844215noreply@blogger.com
