Mottled Bakelite domestic two-pin electric cable connector. It consists of two sections, one wth a cable entry point at one end and two pins at the other, and the other section with two holes to receive the pins and a cable entry point. Each side of each of the two sections bears the inscription 'Made in England' and 'Goltone' on all but one side. Screws on each section allow for the securing of the cable within the casing. The fitting is believed to have been bought at Woolworths by the donor's father, Walter Boughton, who was living in Merton Park, Morden at the time.

The facade of Barkers of Kensington. Signed and dated. Gray (b. Ireland 1930) "came from Dublin to London in 1957 after having quite a success in Dublin as a stage designer. The first jobs I got in London were designing the window displays for Barkers, Whiteleys and Harvey Nichols, in that order. I was fascinated by the scaffolding structures at Barkers because back in Dublin I had never seen anything on such a scale, thus the drawing result. I continued this work until Mr Eric Holder of the Abbott and Holder Gallery saw my studio work and in 1960 gave me my first London one-man show. I showed again in the same Gallery two years later and was considered as part of The School of London, which as you know was led by Bacon, Freud and Auerbach. Most of my work at that time was portraiture".
