Louiphie 0 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Hi! My grandad was Robert Lawford, usually went by Pete and lived in Netherfield. He passed 2010ish. Family have told me he has artwork and mainly photography that he sold (mostly to pubs), I cant find anything online at all and was wondering if anyone could help? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,593 Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Might be worth visiting a few of the older pubs in the Netherfield area (if there are any left) it is possible they might have some on display especially if they are of local interest, good luck with your quest Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 963 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 It’s pretty common for artists to display their work for sale by displaying it in pubs rather than the pubs actually buy them. This provides decoration for the pub and a sales outlet for the artist. So his work might have been sold to a wider audience than the pubs themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 The Old Angel on Hockley, about 27 years ago, had walls full of buyable art.. I Don't know if this was the case, decades previously.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
