WE HAVE found it a privilege to serve on Trowbridge Town Council’s Museum and Tourism Committee over the years and would like to thank its staff and volunteers for helping to make Trowbridge Museum the asset to our county town which it is today.
We would particularly like to record our thanks to Clare Lyall, the museum curator, who has been working long and hard to endeavour to secure funding for realistic expansion plans into the floor above the museum in The Shires Shopping Centre. Clare and her team have been promoting Trowbridge on local media, more recently seen in BBC’s Antiques Road Trip on January 23, and engaging with business, organisations and individuals locally such as with the excellent presentation in the museum on January 26.
The museum is well worth visiting, containing many local historical items including one of the few remaining Spinning Jennys and it has fabulously free admission.
The projected opening for the newly expanded museum is 2020, and we can only admire the work and dedication of this successful team which is such an asset to Trowbridge and Wiltshire.
