I have shown this one before. I bought it from Thorpe Abbotts. It's been hanging here for the last 30 years ! But there is a defect ?

Ours has been tucked in the tee towel draw and does occasionally get used. As it is now quite old I am surprised it has retained its colour as a lot of our souvenir tea towels have faded.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Correct ! I remember that they were sold-off at a reduced rate. Which I suppose was a loss for the museum. A real shame, as they are nice towels.

I bought this one years ago from somewhere, I think maybe the Shuttleworth Collection on a 1984 visit ?

Not quite the same thing I know, but ? I bought this from a Duxford air show two years ago. So-far only been used once to carry some light objects home from the shops.
