Luton Museum is quite my favourite, whilst Bedford museum has an excellent
layout it always seems less personal than Luton.
I hoped you managed to find the drawers that have a small but amazing
collection of bobbins. Their reserve bobbin collection is very extensive.
The Friends of Luton Museum are a great bunch too.
Of course for you Honiton folks All Hallows is the place to go.
Really we need them all. (and more of them!)
Hi Brian,
Unfortunately I have only managed to see the one in Nottingham, Honiton and
the Luton one (they have a new gallery recently) but are planning to visit
the one at Budleigh in search of anything which might be of interest to us
in relation to my DH ancesters, some of home are listed as lacemakers) and
of course hoping to see some lovely lace at the same time. Hontion is not a
lace I have yet tackled but got to see a lady demonstrating, and working
some tiny letters in the museum when we visited..
I did get a very good look at the bobbins the first time I went but this
time it was a very quick in and out, as we were on our way to visit my very
poorly aunt.
Aren't they just amazing.
