As our contribution to the Heritage Open Day Weekend we are proud to be able to exhibit the wonderful work created by Southborough C of E Primary School. Their work will, appropriately, be on display in the shop front windows of The House Company on the Parade for both weekends (and up during the week if you are passing by).
To complement the illustrations, we will also be displaying archive images of the early 20th Century high street and a new work by illustrator Elaine Gill, in the window of Hardman and Hemming, bespoke tailors, along with images of shopfronts and advertisements from the same era in the window of Pets Fayre.
A sample of the displays for the ‘High Street’ exhibition.
We would like to thank Tracy (The House Company), Stuart & Stuart (Hardman & Hemming) and Sarah (Pet’s Fayre) for generously giving up their shopfronts and creative expertise for the display of the exhibition. We would also like to thank Woodwork, The Early Grey, Blooms, Henry Paul Funerals , Hardman & Hemming, Pet’s Fayre, Arty Farty Retreat and Elaine Gill for generously supporting us.
There will be an architectural scavenger hunt to encourage families to look more closely at the hidden details along London Road, all entries will be placed in a prize draw to win a high street themed prize.
More information about the scavenger hunt will be posted next week-so watch this space!
