Some links for March 4th through to March 9th
These are our links for March 4th through March 9th:
- People’s history vitally restored | Kevin Morgan | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk – The Guardian reports on the revival of the Manchester People’s Museum: “Even the National Trust, which sometimes appears like a heritage version of the Countryside Alliance, has taken steps to acknowledge its wider remit. In Birmingham, the restoration of the city’s last-surviving back-to-backs has deservedly proved a popular attraction. Near Manchester, the Quarry Bank Mill, maintained by the Trust, is an industrial site of outstanding importance.”
- Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, West Midlands – Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery – “Previously unseen helmet fragments will go on display when the world’s largest hoard of Anglo Saxon treasure returns to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery from 13th March 2010.”
- Can you spare an hour or two on Mothering Sunday (14th March)? « Friends of Brandwood End Cemetery – Friends of Brandwood End cemetery say: “We need to get as many signatures as possible for our Save Our Chapels petition. Sadly Mothering Sunday is one of the busiest days at Brandwood End Cemetery so we are meeting at 11am near the Lodge to attract more support. We were very kindly received by everyone on All Souls Day last year but unfortunately we just didn’t have enough people with enough clipboards to get more signatures.”
