Our Window is Broken but not our Spirit

May 15, 2009 Ben

At very busy times with a lot of people trying to read the blog, it can take a while for images to load – they can remain grey. If this occurs, please try again later or make sure you are on a very fast broadband connection! Apologies if this is happening today.

A little while ago, Bridie saw this photograph in the archive section of the Times Newspaper. We were quietly happy to see something almost exactly like our shop shutters, which we carefully designed with our lovely Polish builder Adam when we restored the shop front last November. The photograph, taken in London in the middle of the 1940 Blitz, sums up something rather special, I think. And we will be stocking Men’s Half Hose quite soon.
