Pick of the Puppets

Pelham Puppets made marionettes, glove, rod, and ventriloquist puppets. The quality of the toys was high, they were sturdily manufactured and featured hand-crafting in their production, including individually hand-painted faces. The factory was based in Wiltshire until it was sold in the early 1990s when it moved to Gloucestershire and finally went into liquidation in 1993. In 2008 the Pelham Puppet company was revived by a former employee, and historian of the Pelham Puppet company, David Leech. You can find more fun puppetry facts here …
