Wartime Tea Party

On Sunday 22nd June Lotherton Hall hosted a Wartime tea party with festivities for the whole family, throughout the day there were magic shows, sack racing and dancing, as well as old army vehicles and motorbikes, with all of the staff dressed either in WW2 uniform or civilian clothes. Luckily for me the ones dressed up were kind enough to let me take their photographs.

Lotherton Hall - Duty Calls

Lotherton Hall in Leeds is currently displaying an exhibition entitled 'Duty Calls'. It is a series of exhibitions exploring the impact that World War 1 had on country houses and their communities, and is being shown throughout Yorkshire in 2014.

Most of these photographs are from the 'Duty Calls' leaflets and can also be found when looking up Lotherton Hall.

As my construction brief is about WW1 military uniforms and these photographs will be good for inspiration and referencing.
