Along the river - a visit to the Octavia Hill Birthplace House

c85127

Yesterday Thorney's Curator visited the Octavia Hill Museum in the morning, by invitation of Peter Clayton who has been involved in the Society which runs it since it started. I was invited to revisit to see recent developments and also to meet the Chairman of the Chartered Institute of Housing, Jim Strang, who was making a visit. The Museum is well worth a visit. Details are at www.octaviahill.org There are ongoing arts programmes at the Museum, including these thought-provoking colourful globes which contain examples of consumer rubbish. they look really good - until you get close and realise the message they are passing on.
