Make sure to click the link to listen to the Small Business Big Network podcast! It was great to welcome Liz Drury who visited our Heritage Centre recently.

Volunteer Gemma explains in more detail about the amazing array of exhibits including talking about our ten year anniversary. From the recreation of a 20th century street and the development of our museum across three floors.

The centre is home to an extensive local archive and research library with a tearoom and giftshop on the ground floor!
