Meadow Road Gallery: Robin Pulford
Acquired Taste Prints is the work of Robin Pulford – who has lived in Kettering for over 50 years. An artist, graphic designer and printer, Robin has always given personalised cards and gifts to people. The first gift he gave me, his partner, was a drawing of Wicksteed Park after we had talked about our childhood memories of there on one of our first dates.
Since then he has drawn local landmarks and sports teams for family members’ birthdays, friends’ wedding venues, engagement parties and housewarming. The drawing of the Pleasure Park (submitted) was drawn as a house warming gift when we moved into our first home together on William Street – and it hangs proudly in our Dining Room.
He had a lot of fun “researching” the Kettering pubs picture – it makes for an impressive pub crawl!
Robin had such a catalogue of local images that it seemed a shame not to do anything with them – we now sell them at local events and fairs (including Kettfest and the carnival) under the name of Acquired Taste Prints.

The Meadow Road Gallery is part of Faces of Kettering – a celebration of the extraordinary people who make our town a wonderful place to live.
You can find loads of amazing art on our interactive art trail map on the Love Kettering Hub. Whether you follow the trail in an afternoon or stumble across a painting on your daily routine, we hope each one makes you smile, and perhaps inspires you to find out a little more about the remarkable people who make Kettering great.
