There was a steady stream of people
to the Erewash Museum yesterday (Saturday 28th). The museum,
awarded the prestigious "Derbyshire Museum of the Year 2011",
was hosting a Heritage Day where local organisations including
Local History Societies from Ilkeston, Spondon and Borrowash
plus the Friends of Stanton Road Cemetery had displays of photographs,
maps and literature about the area's heritage.
I spotted myself standing with my dad in a group of people on
their way to the Festival of Britain in 1951 on an old photograph
of Trowell Station. Now when you find yourself as part of a museum
exhibit, you really do begin to feel your age! The museum will
be the venue for many more events in 2012 - see the links below
for some in the next couple of months.
