Albert's Attic Gallery

In the early 1970s Hil used to sell aerials by mail order. We had a number of regular customers in the Highlands and Islands and in the Irish Republic, and it was really a very interesting period, since they would write strange bucolic missives, sometimes on the backs of fertiliser labels or what have you, telling us of their triumphs and disasters.

Our catalogue was the ultimate paste-up job, with illustrations swiped from manufacturers' catalogues and pages assembled with scissors and glue, then photocopied at dead of night by a friend with access to his boss's machine.
