Hi,
I have just received a copy of a Hobbies pattern, about 1935 vintage it seems. What days they must have been for fretwork enthusiasts. the pattern, I'll try to post a part of it, lists 'Hobbies Supply Stores' :-
New Oxford St, WC1, 147 Bishopgate EC, 83 Newington Butts SE11 as well as in Sheffield, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Southampton and Brighton. Of course there was also the main place in Dereham.
I remember, as a youngster in the'40's, the Hobbies magazine. I often wonder what happened for the demise (reduction).
