Over
the years the traders of Clevedon, like numerous other small towns throughout
the UK,
have produced many everyday items that are now of interest to the collector,
here I have a
small selection of the interesting and unusual home
produced items.
If you own anything you feel would interest other collectors,
or have a piece of memorabilia
from Clevedon & would like to know it's history,
please email me; Collectors@Clevedon-civic-society.org.uk
| |
Due
to the locality of these items, and given the fact that many could only be sold
in
Clevedon, I would be particularly interested in how far some items
have travelled. Please contact me with any stories behind your collectibles.
