A talk by our Museum Curator which engaged an online audience with the history of The Poppy Factory; this year celebrating its centenary.
Founded in the aftermath of the First World War as a means to employ disabled ex-servicemen, The Poppy Factory continues today to produce poppies and support the Armed Forces community from its home on Petersham Road.
This talk accompanied a free exhibition at the Museum: ‘Richmond Remembers: 100 Years of The Poppy Factory’ (27th September 2022 – Spring 2023).
