Bromley House Gallery is housed in the imposing entrance hall of the Library on Angel Row, Nottingham, NG1 6HL. The single door entrance is four doors up from the Bell Inn and is between Barnardo's and Nottingham Post Newsagents. See photograph.
Bromley House Library are one of the partner organisations with TRENT-TO-TRENCHES. Their WWI commemorative exhibition has been made possible by the generosity and enthusiasm of the library’s members, who have offered to loan their precious photographs and mementos, and to tell the ‘stories’ behind their families’ experience of the Great War.
I look forward to seeing you at the Library on any of the above dates and times. I will be inviting members of Bromley House Library to participate in the project if previously issued name tapes have not been returned.
Elite Labels Leicester Ltd
As a thank you to Elite Labels of Leicester for their generosity in 2014 I have reproduced their Logo entirely out of woven labels manufactured by Elite. This small sample of labels were selected for their colour and size and assembled on canvas using 100g of dressmaker pins, 62w x 109h cm.
WWI Project – Columba livia
466 names of Ilkeston men who gave their lives in WWI have been machine woven onto individual name-tapes and pinned onto stretched canvas in the image of a pigeon. Thousands of homer pigeons also lost their lives during WWI. They were used to transfer important messages and were awarded medals of heroism for saving soldiers lives.
The work will be exhibited at Erewash Museum in September 2015.
Military Boots News Letter - 24 November 2014
A big thank you to all those that have returned their completed name tapes. I am contacting possible exhibition spaces with a view to showing the work in 2015. However, there are still around 60 blue and 60 brown tapes to be returned, and I would like to receive these in the next couple of weeks. Once this time has passed I will invite more participants and there will be a possibility that late returns may not be included. Please contact me for any help or return any unused tapes.
