Tuesday Talk: The History and Craftsmanship of Whitefriars Glass

With Michael Beech
“I worked for over thirty years for Kodak as an internal Management Consultant, and as a result worked for short periods in most European countries as well as Kodak’s UK sites.
In my spare time I sold antiques at antique fairs, developed an interest in glass, particularly Whitefriars who were by chance located just the other side of the railway tracks to Kodak at Wealdstone in Harrow. I have also, over the years, built up a modest collection of Whitefriars glass.
Upon leaving Kodak I took a teaching qualification and taught management subjects within the NHS and for Stanmore College, Harrow.
After teaching I decided to combine two passions, lecturing and Whitefriars, so I carried out in depth research into the history of the Company and developed a series of talks/lectures enabling me to share my knowledge with any interested groups and societies.
I have since expanded my range of talks to include, not only several talks about Whitefriars, but also talks about Russia, China, Secret London, The Occupations of Victorian Britain.”
