The ironwork of Arthur Holloway
This ironwork is one of the things discussed in I SPY / I HEAR this week in The Hub. Other things I saw included this horse brass;
...these bee skeps;
...these hand-clappers for scaring away the birds;
...and this mechanical bird-scarer.
To hear me talking with the Museum's Curator - Roy Brigden - you can hear the whole piece on BBC Oxford's iPlayer. You'll only be able to catch it for a week so do tune in while it lasts! If you want to see the collection at MERL yourself, go to the website at http://www.reading.ac.uk/merl/.
