Postwar residents include Edwin (Eddie) Embleton and his wife Joyce. Eddie worked as a studio manager at Odhams Press until the outbreak of WW2, when he was seconded to the Ministry of Information where he became Art Director and Studio Manager, in charge of print and publications for the Ministry, from commission and design to production. By the end of the war, the office comprised dozens of staff, in addition to the artists and designers who were commissioned. They produced an extraordinary range of high quality and effective material, which played an important part in Britain’s war effort at home and abroad. After the war, Edwin Embleton returned to Odhams Press, and was awarded an MBE for his war service. His papers are held in a number of archives, including University of Brighton Design Archives, Imperial War Museum V&A Museum.
