Trolleybus
 
Model pub
 
Notebook

  • The Roxeth Manor Gazette - I was editor (and printer) of my school magazine and it set me on my future career.
  • Ceramic tile from a 1930s' house - The tile was part of the fireplace in my childhood home. I've always loved staring into flames and just dreaming.
  • Kit-built model of the route 607 trolleybus - One of my lifelong interests is public transport. This trolleybus (the real one) ran from Uxbridge to Shepherds Bush from 1936 to 1960. It was the epitome of clean, environmentally-friendly travel.
  • Handmade model of The Shovel pub, Cowley - I used to live near this canalside pub. Much of my life has revolved around pubs and I wander around the country visiting them. I used to build models as a hobby.'
  • 'All big ideas start small' notebook - This notebook was the first one I used when beginning a project aimed at restoring Cranford Park (on the borders of Hayes and Hounslow). The first entry is dated May 2012. The park won a major grant from the National Heritage Lottery Fund in 2020.
