War on Waste

Harry & Edna performed at the Imperial War Museums 'War on Waste' exhibition in St James Park, London on a number of occasions during the exhibitions 2 year run.

Harry & Edna then
organised the relocation of the exhibition to the Cowper & Newton museum in Olney Buckinghamshire. The exhibition then ran for a further 2 years.

Amanda Pickard, Cowper and Newton House Manager said "This is a real coup for us at the Cowper and Newton museum, it was Harry who suggested the move from St James Park to Olney and we are so proud it is here". 

As part of the War on Waste exhibitions Harry & Edna
sourced the museum the majority of the artefacts used in the displays including the Anderson air raid shelter.
   
The video clip opposite is taken at the Cowper & Newton Museums 2010 wartime weekend and features both the internal and external War on Waste displays.

This particular event was
organised and managed by Edna. This included the sourcing of re-enactors, outdoor props & children's activates. To date this was the busiest weekend for the museum in its 110 year history.
