The Vesta Tilley Collection
Introduction
Worcestershire County Council owns a collection of material
which once belonged to Vesta Tilley (1864-1952), the musical hall
actress. Here we give a brief over view of who Vesta was and what
she did in her life, as well as displaying some of the material
that makes up this fascinating collection. Born in Worcester into a
poor family, Vesta rose to stardom in early childhood, and
maintained this prominence until her retirement from the stage in
1920.
