Pencil drawing by Fred of "Mother's Tomb" - YGA00920
Drawing, Stone Seat, Mother's Tomb
The design, by Fred Spencer, for the stone seat known as "Mother's Tomb", accompanied by a handwritten note 'This is the first garden ornament I designed - I think in the mid 50s. It was the year of the Leeds Music Festival Centenary [1958] as the piece of [?] stone for the seat was ordered at the same time as a step for the Town Hall for the Queen's Visit'.
