Re: what would you do ...
Goodness gracious, that is a really hard one Jen.
It will be interesting to see what the responses are.
For me, maybe it would have to centre around the Accrington Pals Regiment.....because I tnink there is a lot of interest in the history of the Regiment.
It would have to be more than a museum....perhaps something interactive.
It is always more fun doing things than just looking at something.....although a permanent exhibition would be an idea. It could include something of the background of the lads who gave up their lives.....the kind of work they left.....and this would again be able to incorporate something of the industrial background of the town.
It would need to be central to the town, easy to access and suitable for all ages.
But there my ideas dry up. How to do it? Where to put it? How to run it? How to promote it?
Promoting it could be done a bit like the 'Coronation St' experience.
Get schools involved!
That is my two pen north.
