Artefacts of Excavation

The museum was established in 1911 and named after its first curator, Walter Bagshaw but the building itself was originally an estate of a wealthy mill owner. Bagshaw and his children collected a wide variety of objects for the local museum.  p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.8px Arial; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}
