SUMMARY:From Log Cabin to the Palace of Westminster… and other true stories
DESCRIPTION:Helen Baggott is a passionate collector of postcards and meticulously researches the stories behind them. This talk shares some of those stories. Messages written before the First World War reveal stories from both sides of the Atlantic, beginning with a man born in a log cabin in America who became a UK Member of Parliament. Another postcard opens the door to a family of wealth and a son who appeared in films with David Niven, Errol Flynn and Clark Gable… Finally, there’s a sobering story of how quickly disasters become old news.\nThis is the first of three talks in the Summer Potpourri Talks Series. The other talks take place on 28th August and 25th September. You may book tickets for individual events or for all three talks in the series for a reduced price.  \nTo book\nPre-booking is required, because the event link will be sent in advance.                             \nTo join this talk, you will need a computer device with speakers.
