  • Ellen Terry's Letters to Alex Ridley
    ADDENDUM Ellen Terry’s letters to Alex Ridley Ellen Terry bought Smallhythe Place in 1899 but did not make use of the house until some essential works had been completed a couple of years later. From then until her death in 1928 Ellen Terry was a customer of Mr Ridley and wrote to him on numerous occasions, usually about her outstanding bills or photographs that he had taken in his studio in Tenterden or at Smallhythe Place. In 2016, Tenterden and District Museum donated to the National Trust at Smallhythe Place nearly two dozen letters and notes written by Ellen Terry to Alex Ridley. They are mostly brief and to the point but reveal the nature of the woman and, I think, show that she was perhaps not the easiest of clients. Unfortunately, Ridley’s replies to her letters have not survived so we can only speculate as to what he might have written in response to her missives. Few of Ellen’s letters are fully dated but it has been possible to sort them into an approximate chronological order based on their content and known dates of photographs in the Smallhythe Place collection. The correspondence came to an end in 1928 when Ellen Terry passed away and, co-incidentally, Alex Ridley retired from his business. Initially, the relationship seems not to have started well - if her forthright two-page letter of December 1902, written from her home in King’s Road, Chelsea is any guide. 31 December 1902 Dear Sir, I received the photograph cards but am much disappointed in them.
