John Kilby Green’s toy theatre scripts bought back to life through the Walworth Society’s musical event on this Friday 21st July. Mr Green, who claimed to be the first toy theatre publisher, had a studio on East St, Walworth 👏

I'd like to think that there is some kind of joined up thinking that we could explore somehow, on any scale, that might be beneficial for the collection and the organisation

Claimed to be the oldest museum of its kind in the UK, @PollocksMuseum says “building ownership issues” have caused what it hopes is a temporary closure

This makes me so sad. As a former #Fitzrovia I think it’s fair to say the neighbourhood is barely recognisable anymore. @PollocksMuseum was one of those extra special places. I hope it finds a new home. Pollock’s Toy Museum forced to close ianvisits.co.uk/articles/pol…

Very saddened by this news. I loved visiting the museum when I was writing Life in Miniature for @penswordbooks back in 2019. Let's hope a new home can be found as soon as possible @PollocksMuseum
