Benjamin Pollock Memorial
It recently came to our attention that the grave of pioneering creator and printer of Toy Theatres & Toy Theatre sheets, Benjamin Pollock, does not have a grave stone marking it.
"...The popularity of the toy theatre declined and by 1937, when Mr. Pollock died, the shop and the Pollock family were struggling to pay their way.The Chingford Historical Society believes this is why he was buried in a common grave with no memorial stone." - The Chingford Guardian
We think this is a great shame and should be rectified.
