Plan your visit ↗

Close to home

You can approach a local display with simple questions. Where did residents buy their things? Which places keep coming up in their stories? The society names shopkeepers and tradespeople as the subject of earlier exhibitions.

A shop as a way in

The exhibition archive also mentions a grocer’s shop in wartime. This shows how the society approaches a larger subject through a concrete setting. It is an example from the earlier programme, not a promise that this display can be seen now.

What is the focus now?

Ask about the current theme before your visit. If you are coming for a particular village, a shop or a family topic, say so. That way you can prepare your visit around material that is actually available at that time.

Before you go

The opening days stated contradict each other. Confirm directly whether the Saturday or Sunday you have chosen is a museum day.
