History of Charlton in 100 objects

Henry IrvingHenry Irving
edited January 2010 in General Charlton
Shamelessly stolen from the upcoming BBC Radio 4/British Museum series of 15 minute talks on objects in the BM collection.

"In 100 separate 15-minute programmes Neil talks about a single object in the British Museum Collection that can tell us about a host of different things. There will, of course, be a description of the object but most of each programme will focus on areas where Radio excels as a medium - on how the object was made, its political, economic and cultural significance, how the object came to be in the collection - and so on. There are a hatful of stories and ideas in every programme. I have heard those that have been made so far and they are wonderful."

So what would be the 100 OBJECTS in a Charlton history.

1. A copy of the Leaflet headed "A message to our Supporters" handed out in September 86.

2. Colin's Walsh's boot that scored the first goal back at the Valley.

3. The Bust of Jimmy Seed and
4. The Bust of Alan Curbishley outside the Board room

Any others?

    I think his signed shirt framed by Garry Nelson would be more appropriate :-)

    True but I doubt the present owner would allow it to be used as he is a tight, miserable bar steward.

    At least that's what his friend tells me ; - )
