A History of the Pharmacy Shop

(PLEASE NOTE THE SPEAKER/SUBJECT CHANGE)

With a premises on every high street, pharmacy and its history is arguably most visibly traced through its shops. From local landmarks Haddon’s and King’s, via Shakespeare’s apothecary to Boots, this highly-illustrated talk by Briony Hudson will explore both the profession and the products.

Before joining Amersham Museum as its Director in 2022, Briony worked in medical museums for twenty years, starting as Keeper of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Museum Collection. Still today in her day “off” from Amersham, she is writing, lecturing, advising or serving in a committee role wearing a pharmacy history hat.

Coffee/tea and biscuits will be available from 7.30pm. The talk starts at 8.00pm. No booking necessary. Guests and new members welcome.
