MERCER HOUSE Clayton le Moors
Think we should start this thread about Mercer House at Clayton as we now know that "things are afoot" as regards museum items being loaned to them from our Haworth Art Gallery.
A few photos below showing some of the items. Last edited by Atarah; 20-09-2011 at 22:20. |

Re: MERCER HOUSE Clayton le Moors
Here are some more I took today, Atarah:
Mercer House 008.jpg Load of Mischief Tankard Mercer House 007.jpg Printing blocks from Broad Oak Mercer House 004.jpg Top Hat made in Accy. Mercer House 006.jpg Washboard from Lovelace's soap factory Mercer House 011.jpg Policeman's helmet. Only small display but a start. The new facilities at Mercer House are superb with a lovely conference room for hire plus offices. Can accommodate Wedding Receptions, Christenings, Funerals, Training Events, Workshops and Private Functions. |
