Jennifer Dunne, the Collections Assistant responsible for North Lincolnshire Museum Service’s Social History collection, is working on redisplaying the Local History gallery.
Within the new gallery there will be a changing case designed to focus on a different village or township, rotating about every 6 months or possibly annually.
She would like the first case to focus on Crowle and is looking to acquiring the temporary loan of locally relevant items, dating from about 1800-1939.
The material needs to have a strong connection to the town and if there is some sort of marking signifying its origin then all the better. So anything relating to local businesses, the Axholme Light Railway, local social, religious and charitable groups, that type of thing. She simply needs the material to illustrate and accompany the story told in the interpretation panel for the case, which will just be a brief overview of the development of the town.
She intends to display as many objects and photographs (of which luckily the museum has a wide range from the Crowle Photographic group) as possible to help tell the story.
