Victorian exhibition begins next week

A SPECIAL history project looking into Westbury’s past as a Victorian working town, will begin on Friday 27th January at The Laverton.

‘Victorian Westbury – a tale of industry, enterprise, philanthropy and political ambition’, will be open to the public next Friday at 1pm and is completely free.

Westbury Town Council’s Lilly Bale who is leading the project said, “The work behind the exhibition opening is running smoothly. Today we  have sent 200 invitations which were inspired by the original invitation of 1888 for the opening of the public baths; we created our own similar version for the opening of the exhibition.

“The Laverton Institute Trust works in raising awareness and interest in the town’s social, economic and architectural heritage during the Victorian period.

“We want to build up a view of the town and local community during this period of significant growth and change and help people understand Westbury’s rich heritage.

“The exhibition  will include interpretative display boards, apps for smart phones and devices and promotional and activity leaflets. During the Street Fayre and Westbury Festival later this year we will organise heritage events such as walking tours of the Blue Plaque Trail and the Laverton.

“We have made contact with schools and are waiting news on what activities we can come together on.”

The exhibition will be open  during town council working hours from Monday to Friday and will last throughout the year.

For more information contact the town council on 01373 822232.
