Hi Alastair

Have you possibly any information as to where the painting of the guy holding the Touch Burner by Harry Epworth Allen is displayed ?

I looked it up in the catalogue of his works and it's listed as being in a private collection.

Hi Alastair and many thanks for your prompt reply.
I currently have an interest in researching the origin of Touch Burners, hence my enquiry.
If anyone outside of the Sheffield area made and used Touch Burners during childhood, would you please e male me

Look forward to some replies

Re: Harry Epworth Allen, Sheffield Artist burial record

I'd be interested to hear what you find out and whether they were a Sheffield thing or more widespread.
