SELF AWARENESS: THREE PIGEONS, A FICTIONAL SETTING
At LASSCO Three Pigeons we have discovered that our shop is the star, or at least one of the settings, in a fiction by the celebrated author and broadcaster Will Self.

An Epiphany
The Friends of Friendless Churches is a worthy organisation that campaigns for and rescues redundant historic churches threatened by demolition and decay. They do keep an eye out for noteworthy church artefacts that should, by rights, be kept in their intended contexts and find appropriate homes for them. We are delighted that “The Epiphany” by...

First fireplace from the Three Pigeons workshop this year – it’s a beauty!
Our marble mason Jarek gets a bit miserable if he doesn’t have a marble fireplace to get his teeth into. In the summer we bought two lorry-loads of architectural salvage that had been stock-piled for many years in a warehouse. Much of it was known to have come from some prestigious buildings (we are talking...

Island Cabinet
We’ve done some unusual deliveries in our time but today was a good one: “He’ll meet you in the car park and will give you a hand loading”; we were expecting something on four wheels. With “Spanner” alongside (that’s the river launch), the cabinet is gingerly loaded. The only place for it is the front...
