2012 marked the 40th anniversary of the opening of Bewdley Museum.
The photographs below highlight the amount of work involved in that undertaking, and also how the Friends have managed to work with the community of Bewdley to rebuff attempts over the years to close this wonderful resource.
To ensure the future of the Museum the Friends need your support.
Life membership is only £50 and you can complete a membership form here.
The first exhibition by the Friends was in 2006 when they presented the work of ceramicist Simon Hancox. In each year since then the Friends have taken responsibility for one of the Museum's exhibition slots, selecting and researching the subject, forming an exhibition team and overseeing the work. Some of the more recent exhibitions are:
2008 Tickenhill Manor
2009 Every other House - A history of Bewdley Pubs
2010 Who pays the Ferryman - Ferry crossings on the River Severn
2011 Cuckoo Chance - In association with the Pound Green Commoners on the work of Edgar Chance
2012 40 Years on - History of Bewdley Museum to celebrate the Museum's 40th Anniversary Year
2014 - Bewdley Remembers
2017 - The Changing Face of Load Street
