The Pinner Association

Pinner Local History Society - Pinner’s World War I VAD Hospital and its Nurses
2024-06-06 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Pinner Village Hall, Chapel Lane, Pinner, Middlesex, HA5 1AA, United Kingdom
Talk By Thamar MacIver.
During the First World War, Pinner people funded and ran a hospital for wounded soldiers. Administration, nursing and domestic support were almost exclusively carried out by local women volunteers, often from affluent households, while supplies were often provided by Pinner tradespeople. Thamar will discuss how this was organised and tell us about those involved.

Visitors are very welcome: suggested donation £3.

With the start of the Second World War in 1914 Heath Robinson observed that “There was now no demand for purely artistic productions, for new editions of Shakespeare or other classics”. He was then dependent on humorous work for his income. However, from about 1925 respite from the constant need to be funny came from time to time with commissions to provide serious illustrations to short stories and articles in Nash’s Pall Mall Magazine and its sister publication Good Housekeeping.
The exhibition will include illustrations for stories by Richmal Crompton, J. B. Priestly & Gerald Bullett and John van Druten, an English playwright and theatre director.
He developed a distinctive style for these illustrations, very different from his earlier drawings and adapted to the two-colour printing process used for magazines of the time. He also produced a number of full-colour designs for the covers of magazines.
Another artist who was best known for his humorous work, but who also provided illustrations for Nash’s Pall Mall Magazine was Lesley Illingworth. The exhibition will include three examples for his work.

Albion by Mike Bartlett
“Most other countries preserve their past. The embarrassed and insecure English discard it. And then complain when the replacement isn’t any good.” – Audrey
‘Albion’, a once celebrated English country garden created by a WW1 army captain to memorialise his fallen colleagues, has gone to rack and ruin.
Audrey Walters is on a mission. Grieving from the death of her own son in combat, she relocates her family to rural Oxfordshire and single-mindedly sets about restoring the garden to its past glory – and in doing so, give life to her nostalgic connection to the past.
But Audrey’s actions and obsession with the garden and its ghosts of the past comes at a cost to the living – as her relationships with family, friends and the local community decay around her.
Winner of the 2017 Telegraph ‘Play of the Year’, Albion is a powerful drama with witty black comedy moments which looks at how we process loss and grieve … and our complicated relationship with England’s past, present and future.
