Newton Abbot Museum

Solo show Newton Abbot - works in permanent collection

I spend a few months researching this lovely part of England not so long ago. I was captivated as soon as I arrived. The locals were such a friendly bunch that I wanted to stay there forever. Some of them asked me not to tell everyone in London what a lovely place it was in case all of us decided to move there! Here are some of the works made for the exhibition some of which are in their permanent collection. The museum collection was vast all in a store apart from some of it which was on display. The train section was fascinating as was the clothes and costumes section and also war.
