On Saturday 17 August, the Bakewell and District Historical Society had our Summer Social for Society Members and Bakewell Old House Museum Volunteers. It was a wonderful event, inside the newly-transformed Tudor Hall and Tudor Parlour; a chance for the organisation to say thank you to its supporters. Ken Smith, Chair of the Bakewell and District Historical Society, cut a special cake - as this year is both the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Society and the 65th anniversary of the opening of the museum!
On Tuesday 20 August, the Museum organised a new reminiscence event at the Medway Centre: Bakewell Remembered, where 75 people came to help us record what we know about Bakewell's shops and high street through the years. It was also a great opportunity for old friends to catch up with each other! We look forward to the next session on 8 October, on the theme of pubs and nightlife. The museum is enjoying greater visitor numbers than in previous years, and is open to 5 November. www.oldhousemuseum.org.uk.
