The Gallery, Past and Present


For much of its time the shop has been a baker's. This is Orlando Hooks (what a name!) outside it.

The building is dated 1897. This is the original shopfront when it belonged to Burgess.


Obviously a celebration. Now owned by the Moon family of bakers, with Tesco on the left.


We took the shop over in 1997. It had been a newsagents for some years and badly neglected.

This is its 2nd incarnation, a rather stylish (we think) look, still a ceramic studio.

2004, and the opening day of the Gallery when we introduced a lot of work by other artists.

Same day as before, but looking very elegant in the evening

2006, a pleasant spring day, and now a jewellery studio. It has proved to be a good idea.
 


Christmas 2009, a smart change of colour, and some fine bespoke jewellery cabinets.


Here we are at the present - new name, new plans and projects!
