Chinese lanterns in UK

Submitted by Ben Zabulis on Fri, 12/23/2016 - 16:15
I’m posting a rather seasonal question which some readers might know the answer to (an internet search has so far yielded zero).
 
I recall, whilst growing up in Nottingham (UK) in the late-1950s and 60s, one of our Christmas decorations was a small Chinese lantern (the concertina paper type which collapse flat for storage). I was reminded of this recently through a posting on a Nottingham nostalgia Facebook page, somebody else posted a picture of one they’d had and I was amazed at how many people wrote in claiming that they also had them.
