John Kilby Green’s toy theatre scripts bought back to life through the Walworth Society’s musical event on this Friday 21st July. Mr Green, who claimed to be the first toy theatre publisher, had a studio on East St, Walworth 👏

@autantizio @AlisonLacey3 @BeingBoycie We are Pollocks Toy Museum which is the original museum dating back to 1950. The shop in Covent Garden is part of our history but we split business in the ‘80s. Read about it on the history page of our website (link in bio)

UK's oldest toy museum closes its doors https://t.co/JkPHkUbFze

@LibraryFolklore This is very intriguing and kind. Can you please drop us a line at [email protected] so we can keep track of all these amazing offers and ideas

[The Art Newspaper @TheArtNewspaper]

London's @PollocksMuseum—the oldest toy museum in the UK—has now closed after lease negotiations with landlords end in stalemate https://t.co/98GUlLI4Xk

[The Folklore Library & Archive @LibraryFolklore]

@neilphilipmyth @PollocksMuseum I'd like to think that there is some kind of joined up thinking that we could explore somehow, on any scale, that might be beneficial for the collection and the organisation

[Museums + Heritage Advisor @MandHAdvisor]

Claimed to be the oldest museum of its kind in the UK, @PollocksMuseum says “building ownership issues” have caused what it hopes is a temporary closure

[Cosima Shaw @CosimaShaw]

This makes me so sad. As a former #Fitzrovia I think it’s fair to say the neighbourhood is barely recognisable anymore. ⁦@PollocksMuseum⁩ was one of those extra special places. I hope it finds a new home. Pollock’s Toy Museum forced to close https://t.co/S73KRkyjpn

[Dr Jennifer Wexler @JWexlerBM]

Oh no, this is terrible news! A place of magic in the heart of Fitzrovia no more, what a horrendous loss😰 Can you help @CamdenCouncil?

[LondonSE4 💙 @LondonSE4]

Another tragic loss to the city and Fritzrovia: London's oldest historical Toy Museum forced to close. 😢

[Nicola Lisle Author @miniaturesbook]

Very saddened by this news. I loved visiting the museum when I was writing Life in Miniature for @penswordbooks back in 2019. Let's hope a new home can be found as soon as possible @PollocksMuseum

[Chris Abbott @ChrisAbbottKCL]

Very sad news, a special place

[Vanessa Woolf ✨Storyteller @LondonDreamtime]

This is devastating news. Please consider supporting Jack and Emily and the Museum team to care for their collection and find a new home.

[Jack Lane @RealJackLane]

Absolutely gutted for Jack & Emily. Here’s hoping a new home can be found.
