Step back in time and immerse yourself in the charm of a tea shop. From the bustling streets of London to the tranquil shores of Tunisia, these tea shops have left an indelible mark on history. In July 1939, at Brighton & Hove Grammar School Cadet Training Corps, young cadets gathered at a quaint tea shop after a day of rigorous training. The aroma of freshly brewed tea filled the air as they relished in moments of camaraderie. Transporting us further back, we find ourselves in London Teashop circa 1927. This iconic establishment was a haven for locals seeking solace amidst the bustling city life. Patrons would sip their steaming cups while engaging in lively conversations that echoed through its walls. Meanwhile, Uxbridge High Street boasted George Inn and adjoining shops where planning permission had been granted for a new tea shop. Excitement buzzed among residents as they eagerly anticipated this addition to their beloved town. Across continents, Tunisia's Sousse housed Cae in Madina - a hidden gem nestled within its vibrant streets. Here, visitors indulged in fragrant teas that transported them to distant lands with every sip. Even during times of turmoil like Windsor in 1915, etchings depicted scenes from its cherished tea shops that provided solace amidst chaos. These establishments became sanctuaries where people sought respite from the hardships brought by war. Artists like David Ramage captured snapshots of everyday life with his Male Tea Shop Figure between 1937 and 1941. His creation immortalized not only the figure but also the essence and spirit found within those humble walls. Joseph Goldberg's Tea Store Figure from around 1940 stands as another testament to the significance placed upon these establishments throughout history. It symbolizes not just commerce but also community and connection forged over shared pots of brew. Equally captivating is John W Kelleher's Tea Store Figure from approximately 1938.
