This is George and Arthur. They were both #WW1 soldiers from #Wakefield. George survived the war but sadly Arthur died. To mark #Armistice100 we are remembering their stories. Find out more in our latest blog and visit our displays at Wakefield Museum. https://t.co/PAVtGYLgMi
The forerunner to Pontefract Museum was a small volunteer run museum at Pontefract Castle. This 1892 catalogue lists 256 objects. The photo shows displays at Castle Lodge in the 1950s. #museum30 #YourMuseum #ThrowbackThursday
In 1956 the museum moved to the former Georgian music saloon and Mechanics Institute on Wood St. The displays followed the fashion for period room settings. #museum30 #YourMuseum #ThrowbackThursday
We had a lovely day with @Fitz_Pri_School visiting us at #Wakefield Museum today. From Anglo Saxon villagers to the life and adventures of Charles Waterton all in one day!
