Description: | The collections record the development of local businesses during Victorian times, including items associated with the largest shop, 'The Town Mill's owned by FW Benham. He imported Dutch tulip bulbs with a show garden on site adjacent to the current museum site. Suttons the bakers (est mid 18th century and still a thriving business) is also recorded together with local grocers and the chemist and printers shops owned by George Arthur Medhurst. The latter produced postcards of local views - many of which are in museum collection. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Telephone: | Tel: 01276 858322 (Chairman, Ged Mann) | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:4882 | Go to resource |
