sad times indeed :(
I have fond memories of @eawates moving hell and high water to get a delightful Ercol sofa up some very narrow stairs.
Best wishes to everybody.

I got the last #Furzedown cushion on the very last day of @eawates which closes tonight after 120 years of fabulousness!
Everything must go - down to the last lightbulb. Good luck to Roger Wates & all his crew for the future

On Sunday 11th April, 11.00 am- 2.00 pm (weather permitting) pick up a booklet from us outside The Furzedown Project, 93 Moyser Road. Walk the self-guided trail, take photos, and try the activities and quiz questions. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

Sadly their closing-down sale is now on - everything must go; including those big letters above the door – at Wandsworth, London

#BalhamHistory – help needed! Cinema historian Spencer Hobbs is compiling a book of old Wandsworth picture houses & wants to hear from people who have photos of the venues (like the magnificent old Odeon Cinema on #Balham pictured here in 1938). Please email [email protected] – at Wandsworth, London

Our Totem Damask Wallpaper was recently hung in this abode horizontally rather than vertically and above the dado rail 👍

What a milestone for this Streatham business. Here is a picture with Streatham Park Villas on the right where the shop is today #StreathamHistory #Streatham #Furzedown bit.ly/3mTBi2J for the radio London interview with Roger Wates
2020 marks our 120th year of trading so we made a pictorial history from the E & A Wates archive. Take a look if you missed the highlights first time around:

Sublimated by Fragonard, this country theme has crossed the centuries: from the Oberkampf factory to Boussac. In 1947, Christian Dior chose the canvas published by Boussac to decorate its Colifichet boutique on avenue Montaigne. #toiledejouy #boussac #christiandior
