I’m researching men of the Honourable Artillery Company who died during WW1 – one of these was Henry John Sandle, youngest son of Sidney John Sandle. Henry was working in the family shop when war broke out. Sadly he died on 25 February 1915.

Grace’s Guide suggests that they did in their short biography of the company. Can anyone help me on this one? Part of a research project

My grandmother was Kathleen Mary Sandle, daughter of Henry James Sandle. She married Earnest Walter who I believe joined the business.

Samuel Sidney Sandle was my great, great grandfather.

You can see from the photos how beautiful the quality of the objects produced there would have been – high standards of manufacture & finishing, just perfect to handle, to examine, to enjoy!

Isn’t it SAD how impoverished we have become, in stationery terms? It is a sort of cultural tragedy, how everything has become progressively less and less various, and we are left with supermarkets who all sell the same things, and only a few decent shops are left here and there. As for stationery, so with haberdashery. Business rates, tax regimes, and planning laws favour the big destroyers.

Thank-you Gentle Author for sharing this lovely factory and its goods with us, and for telling about what we can do to help Mr Arber.

How sad it is that we no longer have so many of the lovely stationary shops that used to be in every town and city, we had a wonderful one in Colchester where I live, and as students we spent so many happy hours in there. I wonder if there is a name for people who are addicted to buying stationary?

We do not get wonders like this any more. Really dig the Victorian humour
of the Monks in Sandles.
