Hull!

I shall be travelling up to Hull to collect some glass that I've had my eyes on for a little while. Eleven panels of art deco 1930s stained glass, in need of some repair and TLC. The owners had wanted to mend them and incorporate them within a double glazed sealed unit, but they were obviously quoted a pretty hefty price and decided that they would not go ahead. It's such a shame that original features are being ripped out left, right and centre.

If nothing else it will enable me to build up a bank of old glass to make repairs with. I shall get to see the provenance of it too!

Not sure when I'm going yet.
