This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Here's one that I've only ever shown here rarely. This is "Weston Hall" by John Cooper. It is undated but I suspect that it comes from between 1931 & 1933. Weston Hall is just a few miles from Cooper's family home at Menston in Yorkshire. #JohnCooper #Yorkshire #EastLondonGroup
