With thanks to @MathewJLyons for his lovely review of our new exhibition :-)
“...It’s really superb!... Whoever curated it did an absolutely first-rate job. So much life, so much detail, so much emotional depth, in such a small space. I’m embarrassed I’ve not been before.”

#flashbackFriday! Recognise this place?
It's #Abridge, around 1905. It shows a Riggs Retreat on the right, with Goulds Cottages on the left. This was one of several ‘retreats’ where visitors who were coming to Epping Forest could enjoy tea and refreshments.

We love this wintery watercolour by Walter Spradbery showing a Narnia-esque landscape with trees and gardens draped in snow. The only thing that’s missing is a hot chocolate with a few marshmallows!

👔Who remembers Austin Reed? 👔
This lovely advert from the early 1960s offers shoppers some great gift ideas for the gents. Founded in 1900, Austin Reed was very much part of High Streets for over 100 years. It even had stores on three ocean liners!
