In February on the 10th, we will take a look at Epsom and Ewell in the Great War, or WW1 as it became Known in the 1950s
In 1914 Epsom was a small, self-contained town of 20,000 citizens, Ewell a village of 4,000 inhabitants People went to concerts and the newly invented moving pictures at the Public Hall, were loyal to a bewildering choice of eleven different churches and chapels, played football, cricket and tennis, and belonged to dozens of Clubs, Brotherhoods and Orders. The big family names, such as Glyn or Bridges, no longer owned most of the land; tradesmen were in the majority on the Urban and Rural District Councils. In the new municipal Rosebery Park, children sailed their boats.
Then came the war. Life would never be the same!
February 15th you can try your hand at cave painting during the half term.
Hi my name is Amy and I am the founder of Moonbow Castings, based in Epsom, Surrey. I set up Moonbow Castings after realising how beautifully bespoke this artwork is. My business allows people to capture those moments in time and create a timeless keepsake in return.
In April 2023 I decided to further my skills and I went and trained with Lumilo Casting Studio in Dundee. I came back from the course educated, full of enthusiasm and ready to start my casting journey with the public. I regularly promote offers and am currently building up my portfolio of work.
I am able to cast babies, children, adults, animals and I also offer services in End of life and Memorial casts. If you want to know more about each of these areas you will find pages in my websites menu.
