Original vintage London Transport travel poster advertising to visit St. James's Palace including guidance for visitors with some points of interest. Royal London - St. James's Palace. From the days of Henry VIII until Queen Victoria moved to Buckingham Palace, was the London home of successive sovereigns, and ambassadors to this country are still accredited 'to the Court of St. James's'. They say Holbein became architect of this mellow Tudor brick, and certainly the magnificent ceiling of its Henry VIII Chapel displays a master hand. Londoners know its friendly clock and their children love its bearskinned scarlet sentries, and on levee days its Friary Court is a grand spectacle of military display... Londoners look forward to the day when they can welcome Prince Charles to this traditional home of our Prince of Wales. Some guidance for visitors:- Chapels Royal - There are two at St. James's - the Henry VIII Chapel off Ambassadors Court with its magnificent Tudor ceiling and the Queen's Chapel in Marlborough Gate designed by Inigo Jones (1623)for Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria. The choir boys dress in Tudor costume of scarlet and gold. Clarence House - at the west end of the Palace was built by Nash in 1825 and takes its name from the Duke of Clarence who became King William IV. It was the home of the present Queen before her accession and is now the London residence of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. Green Park - is rightly named - it has many fine trees and plenty of grassy shade for weary sightseers. The park was originally laid out by Charles II as the 'little' or 'upper' park of St. James's. The handsome old gates on the Piccadilly side are from the old Devonshire House. Marlborough House - ... Pall Mall - is the high street of London's clubland and was named after the curious croquet game known as 'paille-maille' played by Charles II and now only surviving in Hampstead. It is worth walking along this famous street to Waterloo Place with its interesting statuary and London's most exclusive club - the athenaeum. St. James's Street - leading down from Piccadilly to the gateway of the Palace is a very masculine street occupied by such clubs as White's (originally a chocolate house), Brooks's(with the gambling-room of Charles James Fox), the Devonshire (which was the old Crockford's gaming club), and shops devoted to guns, wine, cigars and fishing tackle. at No. 6 is Lock's the hatters with a beautiful late 18th Century shop -front. ..... How to get there: Piccadilly Line trains to Green Park, District & Circle Line trains to St. James's Park or bus 9, 14, 19, 22, 25, 38, 38A, 96 to St. James's Park. Good condition, yellowing and unnoticeable tear on the right margin. Country: UK. Year: 1953. Designer: David Lewis. Size(cm): 101.5 x 63.5

An incredible and rare collection of Edwardian England Football caps and personal effects, presented to one of Bristol's most famous footballers. William John 'Billy' Wedlock (often referred to as ' Fatty ' Wedlock, or ' The India Rubber Man ,') played for Bristol City from 1900-1901 and then from 1905-1921 when he retired. From 1901-105 he played for Aberdare. Between 1907 and 1914 he won 26 England caps. His short and stout built, gave him the nickname 'Fatty.' So famous was he, that until recently, the East End Stand at the Ashton Gate Stadium was named ' The Wedlock Stand .' Upon retirement, he owned and ran ' The Star ' public house outside the stadium, which after his death, was renamed ' The Wedlock ' (now demolished). He completed 403 league appearances in his time. When the First World War was declared in 1914, it was expected that the Football Association would follow the example soon set by cricket and cancel all matches. But, despite opposition, matches were played in the Football League throughout the 1914-1915 season and the FA Cup held as normal. For the remainder of the war, the Football League suspended its programme but allowed clubs to organise regional competitions. There are several known examples of Wedlock receiving an official exemption from War Duties (one such is shown in the last image). Rumoured initially to be due to his importance in keeping morale high in the City, but later due to family concerns and him being the father of seven 'motherless children.' By the time the war ended in 1918, he was too old to return to high-profile matches and never played for England again, but did continue to play for Bristol City until 1921. This lot includes; Wedlock's gold-plated pocket watch engraved to verso with ' WW ' monogram and neatly engraved to the inside ' Presented to W. Wedlock By His Friends At Aberdare, In Recognition Of Gaining All English International Caps 1906-7-8, April 30th 1908.' Within an associated case, in working order. His British Championships International 1909-1910 cap in maroon and cream. Embroidered 'FA' logo to front, and '1909-1910' embroidered to the peak. Hat size ' 6 7/8' still present to inner. Minor pen annotation inside, some fraying to rear seam. Two 1909 England International caps. The first being purple velvet, with embroidered rose motif to top and '1909' date. Some fraying to rear, minor pen annotation to inside top. The second in cream, with fraying also to the rear. All three of his 1910 International England caps - purple, red and cream - denoting matches against Ireland, Scotland & Wales respectively. The collection also comes with a selection of reproduced photographs, articles and books relating to Billy. A selection of these excerpts can be found in the final few photographs of this description, including a photograph taken from a book which features Wedlock accompanying his caps on an official Bristol City postcard of the era. A rare, and historically important collection of Bristol City / England football memorabilia.
