Thomas Hardy research photos
I have a collection of good quality black and white (mostly) photos & post-cards of paintings & schools of art that influenced Thomas Hardy's writing. He loved art and painted himself. He referred to many Victorian and other paintings in his novels. I collected these images when writing my PhD 'From the Eccentric to the Essential: a study of Hardy's imagery and his debt to the visual arts.'
I'm downsizing and it seems a shame to throw out this valuable material. It took 2 years and a trip to Europe to collect.
Free to a good home! Collect from Sarsfield St, Herne Bay.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
