It’s been a monumental year for the British Monarchy. Last autumn, we bid farewell to the late Queen Elizabeth II, and this spring, King Charles III will officially be crowned on May 6. In recognition of these seismic events, Greenwich’s Fan Museum has curated an exhibition, Coronations and Celebrations, featuring centuries of royal fans from across the continent. There are over 60 fans on show in total, including an English fan marking the restoration of the last King Charles almost 400 years ago.
Holly O’Mahony spoke to Ailsa Hendry, Curator at the Fan Museum, to find out more…
Holly O’Mahony: Tell us about your role as curator of the Fan Museum. What does it entail?
Ailsa Hendry: My job is to support the director with exhibitions, care for the collections, give talks and tours, oversee the photography, and also help out with social media and marketing. I started at The Fan Museum over a year ago as the Curatorial Assistant. Before coming to The Fan Museum I didn’t know much about fans, but I’m very quickly learning under the expertise of Mrs. Hélène Alexander, the Museum’s Founder and Director.
HOM: Your current exhibition, Coronations and Celebrations, is a nod to the upcoming coronation of King Charles. Can you tell us a bit more about the inspiration behind the exhibition?
AH: The inspiration was of course the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.
We wished to display fans which commemorate coronations and other significant royal events in the European royal families across Europe to reflect on the fact coronations have been memorialised on fans throughout history.
HOM: Is there a fan you’re especially excited to be showing as part of the exhibition?
AH: We have a very special fan in the exhibition from the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The fan is printed with the words ‘the Hapy Restoration’ (spelled hapy, rather than happy) to commemorate the restoration of Charles II to the throne in the 1660s and is an early example of an English printed fan.
HOM: What other highlights can visitors see as part of the exhibition? Are there any objects beyond fans?
AH: We have a fan from Princess Stephanie of Belgium which was
given to her in 1881 by her aunt and uncle to commemorate her marriage to Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria. It features a wonderful painted leaf from Cesare Dell’Acqua. We do have one object which is not a fan, a coronation robe from Lady Latymer which she wore to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953.
HOM: How big is the exhibition as a whole? And how is it organised?
AH: The exhibition comprises 67 fans across two rooms. The fans in the first room span English designs from the time of Charles II right the way through to commemorative fans for Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth
II’s Diamond Jubilee. There are also two cases of Spanish fans depicting royalty including a couple from the marriage of Isabella II. In the second room we have royal fans from France and other European countries.
HOM: Ultimately, what do you hope visitors take away from
seeing the exhibition?
AH: We wish for visitors to be able to see the wide range of fans that have been produced with images of royalty throughout the ages. We hope the exhibition shows the similarities and differences in the way fans have commemorated
or been made for royalty.
The Fan Museum, 12 Crooms Hill, London SE10 8ER. Until June 24, 11am - 5pm, Wednesday - Saturday. Admission: £5/£3 children. www.thefanmuseum.org. uk/exhibitions/coronationscelebrations
Guernsey folklore is at the heart of When Darkness Falls, a new ghost story by James Milton and Paul Morrissey – which is reportedly inspired by real life events. A history teacher and a paranormal activity expert get together one evening to record a podcast. They plan to tell ghost stories and hope something fantastical happens that might attract more listeners. But as the stories start flowing and dark histories are dug up, the pair – and their captive audience – get more than they bargained for.
The Weekender spoke to Thomas Dennis, who plays The Speaker in the show, ahead of its arrival at the Churchill Theatre this week…
“See if you can make us jump.”
It’s a Woolwich thing.
“Events at Woolwich Works are brilliant, and there’s some good pubs and micro-breweries.”

Holly O’Mahony: You’ve performed in several big West End productions before joining this touring production of When Darkness Falls. What else might audience members have seen you in?
Thomas Dennis: I’ve been acting since I was 12 years old. My theatre CV also includes playing Christopher Boone in the West End production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and playing Albert Narracott in War Horse, both at the National Theatre and on tour.
HOM: How did you come to be involved with the current touring production of When Darkness Falls?
TD: I landed the part through an audition process that involved trying my best to make the casting team jump. It was one of the hardest instructions I’ve ever been given before starting an audition piece! I’m pleased to say I caught them unawares.
HOM: Tell us a bit about the story... is it really inspired by true events?
TD: When Darkness Falls is a play set in a historical society in Guernsey. The head of the historical society is hosting his very first podcast and has decided to invite a paranormal expert to join him to talk about ghosts. His hope is that something a little ‘fantastical’ might attract more listeners. The guest speaker
arrives with four stories to tell, three of which are embedded in the folklore of Guernsey, inspired by real events and stories that have been told on Guernsey for generations. As the Speaker, my main aim is to make the listeners (our audience) and John Blondel (the host) believe in ghosts. What ensues is a psychological thriller.
HOM: Just how scary is it as a play?
TD: A scare factor is really subjective. Some audience members think it is really scary, others find it more creepy, or unnerving. It all depends on how one relates to the stories. There are definitely some moments where we catch the audience off guard and I have full faith we will make you jump. When? How? Who knows… You’ll just have to watch it to find ou t.
HOM: How have you found rehearsing for a ghost story? Has it made you more jumpy?
TD: Rehearsing a ghost story is definitely unusual in comparison to other projects I have worked on. Rehearsing in daylight at the studio I felt more than comfortable. However, practising my lines at home late at night was rather unnerving. I am now much more aware of every
creak my house likes to make. My imagination is vivid enough as it is – I’m not sure I needed any more incentive to be jumpy.
HOM: How are you finding being on the road? Where’s home for you normally?
TD: I am currently based in Oxfordshire. We are a small team of four so being on the road together is like being part of a family. We explore, share experiences and learn about all the places we go to. It is hard to call it a job really. I love it!
HOM: What’s your favourite thing about seeing the audience react to the story each night?
TD: One of the reasons I love touring is that audiences react differently to shows wherever you go. It is always one of the most exciting things performing somewhere new for the first time. It is an incredible feeling as an actor knowing you have an audience in the palm of your hand. If we do our jobs correctly the scares work so much better. It is a real joy exploring different ways to lure people into the stories and see how they react.

A team of Charlton legends will take on a team of Portsmouth legends on Saturday, May 20th (1pm KO BST) in the final event in a season of celebrations to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Addicks’ historic return to The Valley and the foundation of the club’s award-winning community trust.
The game harks back to the game between the two sides on December 5th, 1992 - Charlton’s first game back at The Valley following a seven-year exile.
Steve Sutherland, Chair of the 30th Anniversary Back at The Valley Committee, said: “My colleagues and I on the committee are delighted that a team of Portsmouth legends have agreed to provide the opposition to the Charlton legends – effectively
a re-run of that iconic game that took place back in December 1992 – for what will be the final event of our 30th season commemorations.
“Throughout this season we have strived to pay tribute to the board, staff, management, players and of course the supporters who, 30 years ago, did so much to ensure that the club got back to play, once again, at The Valley after seven years playing at Selhurst Park and Upton Park. I would like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone who has supported the various events we’ve organised.
“The game is a fitting way to conclude our 30th anniversary commemorations and I very much
hope that as many Charlton fans as possible will join us on May 20th.”
Tickets for the game will be available in due course, with 25% of proceeds from the game donated to Charlton
Athletic Community Trust.

The first book, that I’m aware of, which is about London’s industrial past dates from as long ago as 1967. It claims itself to be ‘the first’ - and it’s a glossy publication with a new and large photograph on each page. It was called London. Industrial Heritage by somebody called Aubrey Wilson, about whom I know nothing, with photographs by Joseph McKeown, whom equally I know nothing about.
There are one or two photographs and write-ups about sites in the Greenwich area. One of them is about a 19th-century planing machine which was then still in use at a firm called Grafton’s which was in Eltham on the site in Footscray Road that is now B&Q. People might remember Graftons, which was a strange castellated factory which made I think made office sundries – typewriter ribbons and so on.
But Grafton’s is not what this is about.
This article is the fourth one in a small series about the Coombe Farm area north of Westcombe Park Station. So what has this got to do with industrial heritage and Grafton’s in Footscray Road?
The planing machine itself is interesting. It was made – I guess around 1890 - by the 19th-century engineering firm of Joseph Whitworth in Manchester. There is a very much earlier model from the 1840s in the Science Museum and there is a page description of it at https:// collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org. uk/objects/co8404490/whitworthplaning-machine-planing-machine
But what is particularly interesting about this old machine and its relevance to Coombe Farm is that in the last paragraph Aubrey Wilson’s page on it says that Grafton’s acquired the machine around 1900 and it was thought to have been sold to them by ‘the famous tool and cutter makers, Arthur Martin & Co of Westcombe Park, London’.
And Arthur Martin & Co may have been famous to Aubrey Wilson in 1967 but to me they are bit of a mystery. In fact Aubrey Wilson would have saved me a lot of bother if he had asked around before he wrote his book and given a bit more detail. Arthur Martin closed, I think, in 1961 but they were still advertising for staff “a permanent position offering advancements’ in 1959. So there must have been people around who knew about them.
They were on the site of the small industrial area which moved into the remains of Coombe Farm was to the north of Westcombe Park station and fronted onto Westcombe Hill. It is now the site of Mayston Mews and a site now cleared for building where the button factory and some other buildings were. The address is sometimes given as a Plaxtol Place although I am not sure which bit of the area that actually
was. On some maps there is a through road to Ormiston Road shown called ‘Stewart Road’ but I’m very unclear if that road ever actually existed. The area hardly looks to have enough space for an engineering workshop - and there were other businesses there as well.
At Plaxtol Place before the Great War there was also a firm called Sofnol who moved out in 1917 to a bigger factory in Anchor and Hope Lane. Sofnol had been setup by James Paul who was a pioneer in the manufacture of hydrated lime, used as an agent in industrial water treatment works. He was a consultant to boiler makers Babcock and Wilcox. Softnol is short for Water Softening Materials Company. After 1917 they retained their offices at Plaxtol Place until the early 1950s, by which time the company was called Turfssoil and was basically a landscape gardening organisation – busy selling trees to new motorways. The company eventually moved to Maidstone in the 1970s - and I wonder if ‘Maidstone’ has any relevance to the name of Mayston Mews which is now on part of the site in Westcombe Park. Turfsoil are still at work and have, for instance, a long-term contract with Greenwich Park dating back to the 1970s.
The final business on this site was the button makers, SperatiI, who closed only a few years ago and it is their works which has been demolished most recently. I knew Beryl, who worked there, and she was keen to have something about them in the local press. Eventually an article appeared in Westcombe News about the firm, written by Jo Hadland. Sperati had set up a wholesale button manufacture and sales business in Tooley Street in Southwark in 1856, moved to Milk Street in the City and then in 1961 to Westcombe Hill. As 1961 seems to be the date Arthur Martin closed, did Sperati move into the premises they had just left? They were one of the main manufacturers of button In this country and apparently there are only six. They made buckles and buttons for leading luxury fashion retailers and also tailor’s chalk, tape measures, pins, ribbons, and various kinds of tailor’s shears. The other site which I ought to mention is a bit further to the north and is at the back of the houses in Westerdale Road. It was always said to be an old barn from Coombe Farm and I remember in the 1970s and 80s when it belonged to Councillor Frank Burton – he kept in it a miniature roundabout which he used for fundraising at local
fetes and fairs. Since then it has been done up as a studio and you can’t see it from the road. A lot of doubt has been expressed as to whether it really was a barn or even anything to do with the farm at all. Philip Binns did a lot of research into it and published an article with his findings. He thought it was built between 1869-1894 because it isn’t on the 189 OS map; which shows the Farm buildings.
The 1894 OS map shows Combe Farm with new development all around and - most importantly a property at the rear but outside the Farm area. It was accessed via a passageway from what was then called Milton Road. By 1916 Combe Farm had gone but the property was still there and was accessed from Westerdale Road. The 1916 directory gives the occupant as Ernest Palmer with the premises being used as a laundry.
So, back to ‘the famous’ Arthur Martin about whom I can find very little. I have a suspicion that the firm might have come from Clerkenwell in around 1901 but I could find no definite proof of
it. They moved to Westcombe Park in the late 1890s and presumably didn’t want their large and probably expensive planing machine and so sold it to Graftons around 1900. Arthur Martin himself died in 1945 and all I know about him is that he lived in Felbridge just outside East Grinstead - a family of blacksmiths had lived nearby in an earlier period and I wondered if he was one of their sons. I don’t know why they were famous or exactly what they did but it was to do with cutting metal in special ways. There are small mentions of them in those infuriating Google search ‘snippets’ which indicate that they were doing something interesting and important and some of their equipment had standard applications. There is never enough detail to pin them down.
I am going to try and put a note out in the historic engineering press to see if anybody knows about them and why they were famous and why they had this really rather important planing machine. I don’t what happened to the machine
when Grafton’s closed but in the back of my mind is an idea that it went to a museum or something similar - but I can’t find any reference to that.
This is almost the end of the story of Coombe Farm, which stood for so many centuries in what is now Westcombe Hill and was swept away by encroaching urban development. The big change came about with the motorway and it’s often difficult to relate what is on old maps to what is there now.
The motorway came through from the Sun in the Sands in the 1960s and changed Westcombe Hill. The bottom end of it is now Farmdale Road and in the last 10 years the last little relic of its existence as Westcombe Hill has gone. At the bottom embedded in the road was one of those old-fashioned traffic light pads that changed the lights when a vehicle went over them. That was put there when Westcombe Hill was a major road and, well - nothing lasts.

On Friday 24 March we celebrated the incredible people of Ukraine, their hosts and the organisations who helped us to welcome them into our community.
Since Homes for Ukraine started, we have welcomed almost 700 people into our borough. The event allowed us to recognise the schemes significant impact on the lives of those who have been affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
During the evening there was a exhibition of artwork by children and adults, and singing and dance performances by children and the Blackheath Conservatoire Choir.
Leader of the Council Councillor Anthony Okereke and the Mayor Councillor Leo Fletcher were among those that attended.
Councillor Anthony Okereke, said:
“As a community we are continuing to find ways to support the people of Ukraine, especially those we have welcomed into our community so far. We also want to recognise the strength and resilience of our Ukrainian guests.”
Denise Scott-McDonald, Cabinet Member for Health and Adults’ Social Care, said:
“The ongoing support from organisations and individuals who have helped our guests get access to the right services and support has been nothing short of remarkable.
“All we have achieved over the past year would not have been possible with their continuing support of those who have opened their homes, gave their time and showed compassion to those in need of a safe space to live.”
