Students can find out about the history of the borough through nine themes in our permanent gallery: 

  • Caring
  • Childhood
  • Fashion
  • Food and drink
  • Healthcare
  • Home
  • Leisure
  • Radicals
  • War time

We also have a vibrant temporary exhibition programme examining local themes, national anniversaries, and community issues.

Our learning programme offers pupils enriching opportunities to explore the local history requirements of the current curriculum in cross-curricular workshops.
