"RETAIL RETOLD" EXHIBITION NOW OPEN
An extension of last year's exhibition, with many new items and photographs on display tracing the history of many of our Fore Street Shops from mid Victorian times to the present day, is intriguing our visitors.
The exhibits include a Newsagents shop with some lovely old comics and tin toys. A Chemist shop, a Haberdashery, featuring some 1950’s childrens’ wear, a General Store, a fascinating old Ironmongers shop and a childrens’ Post Office where they can play with stamps, forms and ID cards. Some of our huge collection of Cornwall Fire Service memorabilia is on display along with an original bell, which children can ring. Our WW1 trench has been revamped after major bomb damage (Winter storms) and is open again for viewing.
A warm welcome awaits you to our free exhibition.
To accompany the exhibition, a book has been published by local author (and vice chairman of Saltash Heritage) Bruce Hunt. "A Tale Of Retail" is available from the museum, or by post (This email address is being protected from spambots.
