While listening to your excellent talk, your ref to butter sculptures reminded me I had a postcard of the later exhib cricket butter image (feel free to use) - meant to be the Sydney Cricket Ground, and does show some stands. Somewhere I have a book on Canadian butter sculpture - very strange.....

Just seen the recording, brilliant, really excellent talk, thanks. Those little Emberton pavilions are wonderful - I'd come across them when doing Co-op book as he did a shop for them, which was great but not quite as lovable as the toffee pavilion...

Nice photo. I wouldn't like to say they were never tin, as manufacturers tried all sorts, but mostly began with galvanised (or otherwise protected) iron then moved on to steel. Similar wooden churches also exist, and also get called tin tabernacles, a term used for iron churches from 1880s!

Thank you! William Cooper - I know quite a bit about him and the company but far from the whole story (quite a strange one...) and certainly not as much as you!
