The Wandle Industrial Mseum ‘s latest talk is a chance to learn about a boy from Ireland, who became the most highly skilled, but little known, calico printer of his day. His designs were particularly loved by Queen Charlotte, wife of George III. This illustrated talk by Alison Cousins of the Wandle Industrial Museum, will reveal the legacy of Kilburn’s designs and the role he played in copyright law.
The talk is part of the Society’s monthly West Barnes Local History Group programme. This talk is free of charge: Tuesday, February 18, 10:30am-12:00noon, West Barnes Library, Station Road, New Malden, KT3 6JF.
