Kettle's Yard in Cambridge used to be four tiny condemned slum dwellings. It is now a unique and beautiful art gallery. Its creator (now curator), ' Jim' Ede, was an assistant at the Tate Gallery between the wars. Through meet-inns and friendships with such artists as Picasso, Brancusi, and Ben Nicholson he found himself the possessor of many valuable paintings and sculptures-which he now shares with a wider public.
