This fairly unused item of clothing was given to Mick Tighe by Mary Connor, Roy Bridge, widow of Ephraim Connor, one time proprietor of Glenspean Lodge Hotel and a Homeopath. Ephraim had a military background and was a shooter/marksman and we suspect this coat/cape came from one or the other of these camps.It would seem to be around the 1940's era and of good quality originally.
Given to Mick Tighe by Mary Connor, Roy Bridge - now deceased.
