The Museum and Art Gallery is raising funds by asking people to buy a brick with a personal remembrance or inscription. 

Ryan Watts, the Museum manager, says it is very popular and is selling fast - a quarter gone in the first two days and he explains themes as well as the history behind it all.

With Marketing Manager Annabelle Bonner, they speak about the forthcoming exhibition Where the Lights falls: the Winifred Joseph Rural Archive 1917 to 1939. which runs from 30 September to the 20 December. They have a special ‘pay what you can’ event on Saturday 4 October, where ticket prices are a donation you want to give.

This is more about the exhibition:

From the Museum and Art Gallery’s archive, over 1000 negatives capture the life of an artistic circle in Petersfield between the two world wars. Taken mainly by Winifred Joseph (1894-1966) at the home of Dr Harry Roberts, an East End-based doctor, the house in Hampshire named ‘Oakshott Hangers’ became a much-used country retreat from the capital.

Over the years, artists and architects including Geoffrey Lupton, the poet Edward Thomas and artist Flora Twort as well as a wide range of Petersfield residents came to the house. Joseph documented it all, from daily life tending to horses and raising children, to playful pets.

With over 16 albums that have been carefully preserved, the exhibition will offer a unique glimpse into 20th century rural life, and the people that enriched it.
