Park Drive

We had a wander round West Dean Gardens, Nr Chichester, yesterday. They have a huge shed in the nursery area which is off limits to the public, but it has some really old bits and pieces in it. I managed to get a couple of shots through an open window.

Please view large, on black. Thank you.

Two perfect candidates for black and white Keith. Love the tilly lamp and I well remember the Park Drive TV adverts! I remember old money too and the first day of decimalisation when I caught the bus home from work!!

What a great find and beautifully captured. After the Clydebank Blitz we lived in a hut outside Glasgow, no water, plumbing anything. I remember the Tilly lamps and my mother cleaning them. Don't remember Park Drive . I'm more the Woodbine era.

Park Drive, Cork tipped. The one that leaves you with a smooth throat and seductive breath. Totally safe. The one your doctor recommends!
THE ONE YOUR GIRLFRIEND WILL BEG YOU NEVER TO SWITCH BRANDS FROM!!
Even more importantly ... no more irritating bits of baccy 'tween your teeth!
Why smoke anything else!?!

GAWD! I should have been in advertising!

I like the deal you get for buying ten, eh? Only twice the cost of five!

I was in Norfolk in 1952, on a visit to my grandmother in the Norfolk countryside. She had lamps like this, and water came from a pump outside. Quite a shock for a boy from Toronto. Don't know if she smoked Park Drive, though.

What a great still life, you did well through the window! A pity they didn't let you inside, I'm sure there are more treasures there.
