This month I've started work on the 'Remember Scarborough!' project with Scarborough Museums Trust, which is Arts Council Funded. I'll be developing First World War inspired handling resources and activities for the 6 partner sites; Scarborough Museums, Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre, Whitby Museum and Pannett Art Gallery, Heugh Battery Museum in Hartlepool, Beck Isle Museum in Pickering and the Wagoners Museum at Sledmere House with help from the Western Front Association.
The local wartime history of the area is fascinating, I was amazed to see the actual shell holes in the buildings from the 1914 bombardment on my first visit to Scarborough. Its a story I wasn't aware of before so I'm excited to find out more.
The exhibition at Scarborough will be opening on July 26th, keep up to date with developments at;
