Thems Please

Thems Please is a pop up exhibition in the 'old Wrigleys shop' on Chatsworth Road of sculptures made over a fifteen year period by British artist Des Hughes. Photos and words from the Last of the Real High Streets project will make up a small part of it.

Shop open 7th July - 7th August 2011. Thursday - Sunday, 12pm - 6pm.
76 Chatsworth Road, E5 0LS

Installed in the old newsagent A. E. Barrow on Chatsworth Road in Hackney, the exhibition offers a unique glimpse at the interior of an old Victorian shop.

The shop was built in the 1870s and contains the remains of over century of local high street history. Old packing boxes of Players cigarettes, newspapers from the 50s and 60s and Melody Makers from 90s, together with tin boxes of jean button studs and old sweet jars line the dusty shelves.
