Museum talk
by Dave Parker
Locally born Hannah Barlow was employed by Doultons at
Lambeth from 1871 until 1913 when she retired. Agnete Hoy
joined them in 1952 when they decided to revive their art
department after the 1951 Festival of Britain and worked there
until the Lambeth Pottery was closed down in 1956. The lives
and work of these two artists will be reviewed and compared.
In 1923 the Empire Stadium opened in London. Two
years later it was on the verge of demolition, only to
be saved by a wily entrepreneur. It went on to become
world famous - as Wembley Stadium. Its history,
however, begins not in 1923, but as far back as 1855.

The making of malt was the most important
economic activity in East Herts, and the towns
of Ware, Hertford and Bishop’s Stortford were
dependent on this vital industry, now almost
completely ceased.
