Its has been a great week, thank you to BBC London News and BBC Radio London for featuring us on your programs and for your support. Living legend Dame Judi Dench sent in this great photo, in support of us all! If your on social media we would also love to see your faces as the people behind the campaign, with a #saveharkersstudio photo, with your name and occupation. Theatrical historian Professor David Mayer also wrotes to us this week: As a theatre historian concerned to preserve the legacy and artefacts of the Victorian stage, I recognise the historic and cultural importance of Joseph Harker’s scenic studio at 39 Queens Row, Walworth. There’s no other surviving building like it, and it must be preserved as a rare national industrial site. Harker’s 1905 scenic studio, even from the outside, declares its identity: tall doors, so large that they rise for two floors, confirm that gigantic scenic pieces passed from Harker’s workshop onto long-bodied wagons drawn by three in-line teams of horses from narrow Queens Row onto the Walworth Road toward the West End and its leading theatres, Sir Herbert Beerbohm-Tree’s His Majesty’s in the Haymarket, Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum in Covent Garden. Inside, the building’s unique purpose is even more apparent: vertically mobile paint-frames which, sinking into and rising from a cleverly-engineered floor-well (which managed to stay dry despite London’s disastrously high water-table), allowed scenic artists to raise and lower flats and drops and to paint the furthest margins of these scenic pieces without having to stand on ladders. Additionally, a large studio floor, illuminated by a vast glass skylight, provided work space for the construction of three-dimensional “built” pieces. From this nondescript building, Joseph Harker, realising his own designs for stage sets or executing designs by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema for Beerbohm-Tree’s Nero, supplied the West end stage and the UK’s touring theatre companies. Where Harker was once one of a number of noted Victorian scenic artists, the workplaces of the others – the Grieve family, Walter Hann, Hawes Craven – have disappeared. The Harker studio is a unique survivor. Its preservation is in the national interest. Best, David Keep sharing everyone and watch this space!
