After 6 months in the Williamson, Stan went for a week or so to Canning Street then off to St Saviours school where he got lots of letters from the kids. Then he headed to Birkenhead Park for a week and a bit in the sunshine at the Visitors Centre as part of a community recycling exhibition.

Mr Peacock - Ken


We have lost a dear friend, Ken Peacock...one of the original Oxton Artists, gentleman and generous heart, such an interesting life.

Daniel James said of him "ken was such a kind hearted man. Some may not be aware that Ken was the youngest sergeant major in the royal marines. He trained Princess Anne and was in charge of guard duty on the royal yacht Brittania. His sketch books are some of the most detailed I’ve ever seen. He will leave a large hole in our group."
