On Sunday at the gallery, the Friends held a viewing day of items from the gallery’s permanent collections. The theme was Accrington and District and the items on display were an eclectic mix from books, to Stanton’s stoneware pop bottles, to presentation keys and trowels, pictures of pubs dating back as far as 1868, pictures and much more.
While the numbers visiting the display were small – around 25 – the people who came in stayed for a long time, viewed the items, talked to us and asked lots of questions. A really good afternoon with lots of positive feedback from attendees.
