Hungerford Arcade Seven Thousand Character Jugs

Hungerford Arcade know that we all like to have our little pleasures in life and antiques and collectables are amongst the most popular these days.  People who started their collections many years ago come into the Arcade to find that elusive piece that they have spent many months or years looking for.  When they find it, the excitement and pleasure is there for all to see.

 

MugsWhen Kevin and Mary McLaren-Dunbar, along with their dog Kountess Kiki came into the Arcade looking for character jugs, they were not disappointed.  In fact, they were over-the-moon to find some that did did not have and had been searching for for quite a long time.  When they came to the desk to purchase the jugs, Kevin told us that he has a collection of at least 7,000 which will all be going to his Strathgart Hunting Lodge in Inverness.

Kevin and Mary live in London but they have been renovating the Strathgart Hunting Lodge for the past four years.  When it is finished all 7,000 character jugs will be moving in.    Hopefully, they will send us some photographs when they are settled.

 

Thank you Kevin and Mary for sharing a part of your life with us.  Rita
