Think we should start this thread about Mercer House at Clayton as we now know that "things are afoot" as regards museum items being loaned to them from our Haworth Art Gallery.

A few photos below showing some of the items.

The new facilities at Mercer House are superb with a lovely conference room for hire plus offices. Can accommodate Wedding Receptions, Christenings, Funerals, Training Events, Workshops and Private Functions.

Not really ... they are just in a glass cupboard in the Conference Room .. just for interest and 'ambience' I think.
