Illustrated Talk on J. K. Broad
September 8, 2023 @ 2:30 pm
| Free
As part of Liskeard Unlocked Liskeard Old Cornwall will be holding an illustrated talk on the life and works of John Kerkin Broad (1869-1947), a member of the British Watercolour Society and a recorder of his memories of a lifetime in Liskeard.
The President of Liskeard Old Cornwall Society and an Honoured Burgess of Liskeard, Brian Oldham, will deliver a Power Point illustrated talk covering three aspects of the life of a watercolourist who was born and lived the whole of his life in Liskeard. J.K. Broad lived and worked in the family grocery store, firstly as a delivery boy for his father and later assisting his brother to run the store.
His passion was painting, mostly landscapes around the Cornish coast and countryside. The Cornish Times printed a column by Broad called ‘While I Remember’, which were his amusing observations of the characters he met in the bustling market town of Liskeard.
Liskeard Public Hall, Friday 8th September, 2.30pm. Free event, all welcome, no need to book
