The museum opened for the new season on April 1st, in time for the Easter holiday, and Tam the red-headed quarrier has been reinstated out front.
We have not been idle over the winter: some of the displays have been slightly changed so as to tell a better story; many of our records have been uploaded to the internet; and we have been exploring ways of providing better access to information for visitors in person, via an onsite database.
Meanwhile, there are some cool things to buy in the museum shop and online, and more to come as the season gets into full swing.
As always, we're struggling to staff the front of house and achieve our ambition of 6-day-a-week opening- so, if you live locally, please volunteer. Please, please. Thank you!
