The final data showed that around 870, that is 20% of the total number of museums open since 1960 have since closed. Rates of closure varied depending on size, accreditation, and governance among other characteristics @jasmineMAllen @DrMMGilchrist1 @DavidPetts1 @JDaviesHeritage

[London Fire Brigade Museum @LFBMuseum]

One of the oldest operational fire stations in London, is said to be haunted by the ghost of a horse from the 1800s. There have been reports of whinnying & sound of metal horseshoes clopping around in the yard, all long after the last horses were retired in 1921! #LBLMAspooky

After taking guidance from the national organisers, Heritage Open Day will go ahead as planned. We believe it is appropriate to engage with our heritage in a respectful manner at this time. There will also be a display commemorating Queen Elizabeth II in the museum lobby.

Wonderful 👑

[Wallingford Museum @WallingfordMus]

This rather amazing @BritishPathe film of Queen Elizabeth II visiting #Wallingford & @RAFBenson in 1956 was shared with us. It is wonderful to see how well the Queen was received & the crowds in our Market Square. Have any followers some stories to share from the Royal visit?

Wollaston street names - Redhill Crescent - Built on Red Hill (an ancient name). The land at this end of the village is heavy with iron ore and when ploughed, glows a rich, dark red in the evening sun.
