New September Slideshow - Harmony Re-visited
We last featured Harmony in January 2017 and this was well received. We had many more interesting images then than we had room to display so we have decided to use these and a few more including some less frequently found pieces, in our new September slideshow entitled 'Harmony Re-visited'. Take a look.

Community Projects.
Although we are best known as a collectors group, we are a Registered Charity - No.1097547 and we have included a new page on this website detailing some of the community projects we are involved in or have completed. Take a look at our new Community
Projects page. It is no longer a requirement to produce detailed accounts to the Charities Commission, however we do provide an annual report on our aims and activities. Read the Report to 31 October 2018 here.
NEW Facebook Page We now have a new Facebook page on which you may post any comments or photos of your favourite pieces. In particular you may click on the icons at the foot of any page to 'Like' or, better still, 'Share' the site with your friends. We are always looking for new members so if you have an appreciation for Shelley and Wileman wares why not join us. You can read more about the Group on this site or email our membership secretary with your phone number for a chat.
