A can of “Cleethorpes Air” c1950s/1960s.

Cleethorpes

An original, novelty item showing a picture of The Boy with the Leaking Boot statue in Cleethorpes.

The canned air was produced by Bourne of Harlesden Ltd., London, N.W.10. The company was well-known for producing a range of novelty items, particularly pottery items. The company was based at 189 High Street, Harlesden NW10 and also at 29 Welbeck Street, London W1M. (The former is now the location of a shop selling superfoods. The latter appears to be a block of fine, period offices which was once the home of Thomas Woolner RA, sculptor and poet.)
