Peter Farrer (20 May 1926 – 10 February 2017) was an English actor. Shortly following Farrer's death in 2017, his archive papers and collections of research materials were donated to LJMU Special Collections & Archives as a bequest. In 2016 Peter Farrer also donated his borrowed copies of The Family Doctor, lent to him by the military historian Sir Basil Liddell Hart for use in Farrer's research due to their frequent mention of both male and female roles and discussions of the intersections between fashion and health, often in relation to corsetry and tight lacing. Many items from Farrer's garment collection are now owned by National Museums Liverpool, where they were displayed in 2015 and 2017-2018.
