More than just Blocks: The wonderful world of architectural building toys

By Jackie Britton

From the nineteenth century onwards, an amazing array of building sets have been sold for children to build houses, log cabins, castles, churches, factories and so much more. Jackie has been collecting them for thirty years and has around 1500 in her collection. This copiously illustrated talk will look at the many ways in which a box of parts could be put together and the wide range of architectural styles on offer. Some real examples will be on show and there will be a chance to have a play with a few that you might remember yourself.

Entrance £5.00. Pay on the door.
