Proud Cumbrian now finally living back in Cumbria. Collections & Exhibitions Manager. Stupidly enthusiastic about all things heritage. Views are my own.
I'm absolutely thrilled we have managed to keep this medal in the local area. I can't wait to put it on display and share Tommy's brilliant story with our visitors.
Thank you to the Furness Maritime Trust and every visitor who made a donation at the museum.
We are recruiting for new Trustees. We're a people-centred, inclusive dynamic, & strategic visual arts charity, making excellent work & sparking positive change. We're looking for enthusiastic people who share our values and have a commitment to socially engaged contemporary art.
We all love a digital resource and if you're doing place-based studies, this one is BLOODY AMAZING and I only found out about it today:
