Hello. I am not a collector but would like to give a small gift to an acquaintance who has a historical link to Hornby & Clarke. If a pot or milk bottle is too difficult or too expensive to source, I would very much like to find a photograph of a Hornby & Clarke cream pot or milk bottle that I can put onto a t-shirt. Can anyone help?

Thanks. The nearest I can seem to get is an image of the J Clarke mosaic on the doorstep where the shop used to be in Richmond or maybe images of the tiles that are inside the shop (now a haidresser).

If that's a hairdresser are there any consignment, junk, antique, etc. shops. One of the sites was saying they were still doing business until 1960. I can't believe there isn't one right in the village. Are you friendly with anyone olderish there that you cold ask?

Sorry, that was the link I went to. I found an F & HE Hornby Richmond HERE
#223 I think just search hornby in the pdf. You might be able to get the picture but I can't help with that
Or contact these folk, maybe they can help. http://mikesheridan.tripod.com/cream.htm

Hello Adrian,

Welcome to these parts. How about a Pathe Newsreel, featuring a lovely cart.
