For many of you, you will have seen my artwork on display at this fantastic little gift shop. Unfortunately they are holding a closing down sale as I write this blog. Sadly I have removed my stock.
Yes you heard me correctly they will soon be gone from the High Street like many other small independent shops in the country. I believe they have been open for the past 14 years.
Having personally worked in the shop a couple of days a week for many years I have very fond memories of the place. So I thought I would share some photos featuring my artwork for you to see how it once looked on display.
Plus to say a big thank you to John and Lorna at ‘Lovely and British‘ for giving me a fantastic platform to sell my work. I wish them all the best for the future.

Giclee London Print | Originally Painted with Acrylic on Canvas.
The towering chimney stack of Hartley's Jam factory dominates this picturesque view, showcasing Webber Street and Tower Bridge Road. Skilfully painted with acrylic on canvas board, this distinctive artwork delves into the rustic allure of Bermondsey. On the far left "City Space" development comes into view, and further into the distance a bustling laundrette hard at work. At the intersection with Tower Bridge Road, two cyclists patiently await the changing traffic lights while a London cabbie gracefully manoeuvres past.
Delving into the history of Hartley’s Jam factory, it was established in 1901 on the grounds of a former tannery and linoleum factory. Fruits were meticulously sourced from the orchards of Kent and transported via train to the Bricklayers Arms rail depot on Pages Walk. Hartley's maintained their own Thames-side wharf, where sugar from the Tate works in Silvertown arrived for processing. The factory premises have since been converted into modern apartment blocks.
Our array of vibrant prints is a splendid choice for an eye-catching feature wall that beautifully encapsulates the essence of London life. Consider creating a captivating collage on your walls for an art gallery ambiance.
