Three significant local history museum projects

Valence House Museum in Barking, the new Havering Museum in Romford and the Chelmsford & Essex Museum have all seen major investment recently, the first two with Heritage Lottery Fund grants. We will visit all three to learn from what they have achieved. A discussion over tea at the end of the day will help us contribute to planning the future of our local museum at Gunnersbury.

Tickets cost £30 to include coach fare, admission fees, lunch at Romford and tea at Chelmsford. The coach leaves at 8.45am from Heathfield Terrace/Chiswick Main Post Office, returning about 7.30pm.

To book, send your name, address and phone number with a cheque made out to the Society and an SAE to The Chairman, 25 Hartington Road, London W4 3TL.
