Amersham Museum visit – July 2019
On the 3rd July 2019, a very warm afternoon, eight of our members visited the Amersham Museum. This is located in the High Street of Old Amersham town. Once through the very modern entrance reception area we were greeted by the Curator, Emily Tottcher, and taken upstairs to the meeting room (there was a lift too). Tea and biscuits had been arranged and we chose to have this early rather than later on. So then we sat and enjoyed an introductory film and talk by Emily. At the same time, Emily handed out various historical articles to examine and guess what they were. These curious items ranged from an antique pair of curling tongs to corn splitters. Emily spoke of the history of Amersham and its development over the years.
