"Makers: Unlikely Encounters and Unexpected Vocations" Embarking on a Riviera holiday, the piste becomes an unexpected playground for these adventurous souls. Amidst the picturesque scenery, one stumbles upon the Chadburn Brothers, Optical Instrument Makers at Albion Works on Nursery Street. Skiiers out of place in the Riviera? Perhaps, but their passion knows no boundaries. Intriguingly contrasting with this scene is the Bermondsey Glue Factory - a reminder that makers come from all walks of life. Yet even amidst such diversity, creativity thrives. Catedral in Morelia, Michoacan stands tall as a testament to craftsmanship in North America. As rush hour engulfs a London tube station captured by A. W. Wilson's lens, hikers find solace by Signpost in 1935 - nature's call beckoning them away from bustling city life. Meanwhile, Singer Factory postcards remind us of those who bring music to our ears through their craft. But it doesn't stop there; they are be found even among elephants enjoying holidays at Butlins in Filey. St Crispins Day engraving reminds us that historical events too are shaped by skilled hands and creative minds. From sign makers illustrated in J. M. 's High Street to R. Waygood & Co. 's lift makers advertised back in 1898 - each maker leaves their mark on society through their unique contributions and expertise. In this vast tapestry of human existence, we encounter "makers" not merely as individuals or companies but as creators who shape our world with ingenuity and dedication across diverse landscapes and industries.
