This exhibition focused on the history of the Royal Legion Poppy Factory on Petersham Road, Richmond. Originally established in a former collar factory on the Old Kent Road, London, in 1922, the factory moved to its current location in 1926, on the site of the disused Lansdown Brewery, and continued to be staffed by disabled ex-servicemen. The factory remains open to this day, producing Remembrance Day poppies and wreaths.
