Important Announcement
Desperately seeking premises.
Following our notice to remove our museum holdings from Morpeth
Town Hall, Morpeth Antiquarian Society has been working hard to
find alternative premises. The initial suggestion of accommodation
at the former Morpeth fire station has not come to fruition and we
are desperately seeking storage facilities within the next two
weeks. Any suggestions would be warmly received by the Secretary
Mr Christopher Hudson on
hudson.c@virgin.net or 01670 514792.
Even over the holiday period, the volunteers of the Morpeth
Antiquarian Society have been doing sterling work to get all its
collections ready for any possible move.
Morpeth is aware of the tourist benefits of our heritage and is
taking advantage of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to
promote this. It is ironic, therefore, that we find ourselves with
only two weeks to find a home for the collections held in trust
for the town by the Society.
Chairman and Executive Committee of the Morpeth Antiquarian
Society.
