Collection history (Collection development policy)
Since 1982, when the Museum came into being, collections have evolved through donations and purchases of items of local, social and military history. Most of the collections in the Museum have been donated to the Society with a small percentage being on loan e.g. the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society has agreed to a further 5-year loan extending to 2019.
