ICONIC PICTURE FROM DECADES GONE BY OF THE RISING SUN PUB
Hi everyone. I recently lost my mum & my dad passed some years before. They both lived in HG for many decades as did I. My dad was a skilled tradesperson who had many hobbies. One of them was called Marquetry, the art of creating pictures out of wood veneers. Our local pub near where we lived was the Rising Sun pub a land mark place in the village most will know. Dad created a picture of the iconic pub many decades back. You can see in the picture to the left the old telephone box's we used to have, we used to use 2p coins back then for a call.
I'm now wishing to sell it on as a peace of history to someone who lives in the village. There isn't another like it anywhere & our pubs our fast disappearing as many will know. I'm asking just only £60 for it. There is between 60 to 80 working hours involved to create such a picture. Anyone interested please get in touch.
