We recently managed to set up and operate a History Exhibition during the whole of the Brandon Heritage Week. The Exhibition ran from Saturday 12th until Sunday 20th of September. We received a total of 125 visits from Brandon residents and others from further afield. Many of those who attended were prompted to reminisce about their early life in the Town and related some interesting episodes from their childhood and working life. We will use this information to add to our archive of local history. The outcome is that we enjoyed the whole process of running the exhibition, and there is a good chance that we will run a similar thing next year. Now that we have a set of display panels, we will be adding further panels during the coming year to create an exhibit that covers even more of the history of the town. In addition, we occasionally have a presence outside on Market Hill during a Thursday Market Day. This gives people a chance to come and see photos of the town in times gone by and have a chat about their own lives. Please look out for us and make a point of stopping by.
