SIHG Event: "The Truth About Harry Beck" (Play about the man behind the London Underground Map)
Groups:
Periods:
Play about the man behind the iconic London Tube map. Could meet in the cafe there an hour or so before. And there's the excellent LT museum as well, of course.
SIHG Talk: "The Ashtead Pottery: Post-War Rehabilitation through an Alliance of Art and Industry" by Anne Anderson (Leatherhead)
Groups:
Periods:
Ashtead Pottery was an enterprise giving work to disabled war veterans from the Great War, and to "assist in the reconstruction of rural life". It only lasted 12 years but produced some very individualistic pottery, often in art Deco styles, which now commands impressive prices; their most famous produce was the 1924 Empire Exhibition's "Empire Lions" souvenir. Come along and hear much, much more from Professor Anne Andersen.
