Made: 2018
Record Number: HFC:2020:41
The Fur and Feather, that was one of the shows they used to have in City Hall. It was rabbits and pigeons and different sort of birds. My father and my brother were both keen Fur and Feather enthusiasts, and they used to participate, especially father, he won numerous cups and prizes. We lived in St.Clements Terrace and he had a pigeon loft and hutches in the garden where he used to keep and feed his rabbits and pigeons. He had the British gold shield for his Dutch black and white rabbit.
