My connection to my local museum was strong as a child. I went to the monthly history club it ran…which felt like a social lifeline for me because I wasn’t sporty or into drama.

I discovered archeology there through the field trips they ran. I gained an understanding of my home town’s history back to before the Norman Conquest.

There was nowhere else to learn these things. This was before the internet and the public library was rubbish because of Tory meanness even in the 80’s and 90’s.
