Went to see the museum displays today, and was thrilled to see so many people there looking at the things exhibited, even after three, when we were there.
Really interesting stuff about Accy in the war, and lots of more general things, showing how people used to live.
Very nice, friendly people, some of whom were dressed in period costume, including a very striking Land Girl, who were kept very busy talking to people about the exhibits.
Was told what's on show is but a small part of what's in the collection. So new exhibits will be shown in the future.
Accrington is a town with a proud history, which deserves some sort of museum to show off the many interesting things it has.
Thankfully people will now have somewhere to donate things of interest to Accrington, which may otherwise have been sent to the tip.
Congratulations to all who have worked hard to make this happen, and well done to Hyndburn B.C. for offering their full support, so Accrington once again has some sort of museum.
