Hello

 

I’m looking for images of gas showroom cookery demonstrations, showcasing the latest cookers, or gas cooker cookery demonstrations in general, covering the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.  I will be contacting the National Gas Museum and am looking at local sources (e.g. Cannon archives) but just wondered if anyone out there had a gem of a photograph on this subject! 

 

We are considering a Black Country gas showroom as part of our development plans and we know that they ran cookery demonstrations on the first floor of their building.

 

Many thanks

 

Clare
