Whilst people may know that he was an inn sign painter, this exhibition will give a wider view of his life. Including a profile of Ralph Ellis (1885-1963), his life before and after the Great War, and the growth of his inn sign business, including the technical process for making the signs and the work he exhibited in national exhibitions.
