Woodcarvers Shop - Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire
Harry Macdonalds Woodcarvers Shop - Woolmer Green, Knebworth, Hertfordshire. Harry MacDonald (a Yorkshireman) came south and brought this cottage for 1, 000 in 1937. He built his model village over the years & also carved serious subjects. Macdonald died on 23rd April 1971 and the cottage was (very sadly in my opinion) demolished in 1981. Date: circa 1930s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of Harry MacDonald's Woodcarvers Shop in Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire, circa 1930s. Nestled in the picturesque village of Woolmer Green, near Knebworth, this quaint cottage was purchased by the Yorkshireman, Harry MacDonald, for just 1,000 pounds in 1937. Over the following decades, MacDonald transformed the humble abode into a woodcarving wonderland. The exterior of the shop was adorned with intricately carved figures and animals, each one meticulously crafted by MacDonald's skilled hands. The walls were decorated with a myriad of carved designs, showcasing his artistic flair and dedication to his craft. The shop was not only a place of business but also a labor of love, with MacDonald's passion for woodcarving evident in every detail. MacDonald was known for his eccentric creations, including a large-scale Noah's Ark, which was a popular attraction for visitors. His serious woodcarvings were equally impressive, demonstrating his versatility and mastery of the craft. Sadly, MacDonald passed away on 23rd April 1971, and the cottage was demolished in 1981, much to the dismay of those who appreciated the unique charm and character it brought to the village. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when creativity and artistry were celebrated in the most unexpected places. The memory of Harry MacDonald's Woodcarvers Shop in Woolmer Green continues to inspire and delight, and his legacy lives on through the countless woodcarvers who have been influenced by his dedication and passion for the craft.
