Sketches From the Front


New exhibition at the Salt Museum
Opens on Friday 12 September
'Sketches From the Front' - A First World War exhibition

'Sketches From the Front' is a fascinating collection of sketches and paintings by
'Hutch' aka WH Hutchings (1885-1962). He was born in Liverpool and trained at Liverpool School of Art. During the First World War he served in the Royal Army
Medical Corps and many of the sketches in the exhibition relate to this period of
time. After the war, he moved to Northwich and worked as a clerk at Brunner
Mond (later ICI) for 49 years. He was a founder member and former chairman of
Northwich Society of Artists.

The exhibition also includes examples of his later work - local scenes, portraits and
even cartoons of prominent Northwich notables! This will be the first time that these
sketches (now housed at Cheshire Record Office) have been on public display.

A collection of artefacts and ephemera from the First World War period loaned by
local people and Chester Military Museum will accompany the sketches as well as
films about the conflict.

The exhibition runs until 11 January 2009 and admission is free (there is a small
charge for visitors who wish to see the rest of the museum). A programme of talks
and events will accompany the exhibition.

Open: Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm; 2-5pm at weekends

The Salt Museum, 162 London Road, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 8AB. Tel 01606 271640.
