Our volunteers have busy kitchens this week.
We are open on Saturday morning for the sale of cakes and savouries, all donations to Horsforth Museum.
Call in to stock up and see our model houses on display including this model kitchen dated 1950 in our back to back retro houses.
This month at Horsforth Village Museum you can pick up a list for the Teaser Trail through the museum.
When an item is given to the museum, and is not recognised, it must be researched using the internet before we can put it on display.
Your job this April is to find the objects on our list, and research them for us. You can even win a prize!
A screen presentation about Bank House Horsforth and the troubles of the Stable family, and maybe a walk if the weather is kind.

The Great Irish Famine had a devastating impact on the population of Ireland, particularly the poor and destitute, who despite their suffering were treated with disdain and contempt. One million people died, and hundreds of thousands were forced to seek relief in the workhouse. The skeletal remains of those who died give testimony to their excruciating hardship and toil, but also of resistance and communal identity.
Bioarchaeological analysis of human remains can reveal important insights into the lives of the past, such as diet, inter-personal violence, health, and migration. Dr Curtis-Summers’ will draw on bioarchaeological research and multidisciplinary evidence to reveal what we can learn about the lives, and deaths of people from Scotland’s past.
