J Dick and Co - the family who illuminated Winchester

THE year 1862 and before Tower Bridge and the Natural History Museum was built in London John Dicks opens up a gas fitting and brass finishers shop called J. Dick and Co at 5 Jewry Street in Winchester and it’s lavishly adorned with the latest gas fittings and chandeliers from London. The business grows swiftly as they offer gas fitting installation, wrought iron and lead work services. In 1863 Dicks illuminated the exterior some of the prominent buildings by gas light in the city like the Guildhall, Westgate, Market House and Queen Anne’s statue. By 1886 the business moved to 149 High Street as they had already acquired workshops in Silver Hill and by now were installing water systems into houses by putting pumps in their wells and piping the water into their homes. By the turn of the century John Dicks had died and his two sons Philip and John are now running the business and are installing telephones, speaking tubes in offices and designing and installing call alarm syste

Queen s message to Friends of Winchester Cathedral

THE Queen has sent a message of good wishes to the Friends of Winchester Cathedral as it celebrates its 90th anniversary this year. The organisation was set up in 1931 by the then Dean of Winchester, Gordon Selwyn, to provide financial support to the cathedral. Two of the Friends’ earliest projects were the restoration of the St Swithun’s Gate into the Cathedral Close and support for the embroidery of over 100 kneelers and cushions. The work of the broderers and their connection with the Friends was the subject of Tracy Chevalier’s recent best-selling novel, A Single Thread. The Queen has been the Royal Patron of the Friends since her accession in 1953 and has taken a keen interest in their work. Three years ago, Her Majesty gave permission for Queen Elizabeth’s Winchester’ Carol to be commissioned in honour of her own 90th birthday: ahead of its première in the cathedral, she asked to hear a recording which was sent to Buckingham Palace.
