History man Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 So did anyone go down on saturday? If you did could you please share your opinions. (If not, why not! -joking-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feargal Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I did! It was great We had a good potter about, there's loads of brilliant things in there, and we spent a lot of time pointing stuff out that our parents and grandparents had in their houses. It's definitely worth a look round! We spent about an hour in there I think. The chemist shop is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hennypenny Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I didn't go on Saturday but I have been several times before, it is one of my favourite places We have often been with the home ed group, they do a lovely wash day activity with the children that they really enjoy, and they let them dress up and play shop in some of the reconstructed shops which is always great fun. Is the museum's future secure, do you know? I am not sure who runs it or how it is financed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean1 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes, i went. Brilliant! Just like to say a public thank you to Harry, for letting me browse through his fathers ww1 pay book. (This was after the Saturday, on monday. Had the museum all to myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yes, we went, it is brilliant for anyone who has memories of grocer's, chemist, cobblers and various shops plus seeing how grinders worked their machines. All the products which we could remember from our everyday lives are there to rekindle those memories. The volunteers are on hand to answer questions and they are very helpful and polite, it's very well organised. We would suggest that anyone who hasn't seen it to get to know the opening days, it's well worth the visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiat500 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yes, we went on Saturday, we really enjoyed it. The staff are very enthusiastic and make you feel very welcome. As we no longer live in Sheffield it was a good nostalgic day out for us. We also went to Bingham Park and walked up to Forge Dam Cafe. Was glad to see it was still there and still as good. Great weather too Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripleu Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Is it possible to get the dates of open days throughout the year? These would be really useful for a publication for visitors my company is currently working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
