Re: Some London Advertisements and Information
WILLIAM WATKINS
Battersea, London
How a determined onslaught on a Battersea jeweler’s stock was effectively terminated by the jeweler and his wife getting the would-be jewel thief down and sitting on him until the arrival of the police, came to light the other day, when the intruder was charged with attempted robbery and assault on the jeweler. William Watkins, who has turned 50, heard a suspicious noise in his shop early in the morning and crept quietly downstairs, surprising a man in the act of lifting a tray of gemmed rings from the window. Before he could close with the intruder, the latter got in a nasty blow on the jeweler’s head with a “jimmy.” Although half-blinded by the blood from the gash, which later necessitated nine stitches to close it, Watkins pluckily grappled with the would-be thief. By the time his wife, hearing the noise, reached the lower floor, the jeweler was on his back, with the other man on top brandishing his weapon again. The wife hung onto the intruder’s arm swinging the jimmy, and thus prevented her husband again being hit. The jeweler was now able to struggle to his feet and gain possession of the weapon, which he used in turn on the burglar. Early morning workmen outside in the street, hearing the commotion, notified a policeman several blocks away. His whistles brought a dozen relief officers (just starting out for their posts) to the shop where the husband and wife were found sitting on the prostrate visitor, who appeared to be pretty badly battered himself. He was a carpenter of middle age, and he admitted that he got into the shop by forcing the wicket-gate and breaking open the front door. More than 20 rings valued at $600 were taken from the carpenter’s pockets when arrested. He appeared in court with his head in bandages.

Re: Some London Advertisements and Information
ENID KELSEY
17, Northway, Temple Fortune, London
Enid Kelsey was the wife of Cyril Kelsey, who was one of C.R. Ashbee's apprentice silversmiths at the Guild of Handicraft in 1899, and is likely to have had influence on Enid's work. Cyril Kelsey, known as 'the Professor' was one of the very early members of the Guild in it's Whitechapel days and was involved in the move to Chipping Camden, but never worked there, as he chose to leave the Guild to join the army in South Africa just prior to the move in 1901, and is unlikely to have completed his apprenticeship.
Cyril and Enid also wrote the play 'The Stars' that was revived for the Garden Suburb Theatre in London in the 1999/2000 season.
Enid Kelsey entered her marks at the London Assay Office in 1929, her workshop was located at 17 Northway, Temple Fortune, London NW11.
Example of the work of Enid Kelsey:
A set of six spoons assayed at London in 1936, with small hammered bowls, twisted stems and whiplash finials. The spoons are 3¼ inches (8.3cm) in length and have a total weight of 30gms.
