Museum presented
with a bus! |
|
|
John Scott-Adams from Witham, a keen model maker, was
so struck by the picture (right) on a Christmas card that he decided to
make a model of the bus and present it to Coggeshall museum. The model
of Hutley's 1914 motor bus, along with a background of Hutley's premises
in Church Street also made by John, features again in this year's exhibition. |

AWARD
FOR MUSEUM |
| Coggeshall museum was awarded a
grant of £2,315 from 'Awards for All' towards the purchase of 3 new
display cases. These cases were necessary to enable the museum to fully
comply with the Disability Discrimination Act and are now in place
in the museum - they were made by a Coggeshall craftsman and a
firm situated on the Earls Colne Airfield complex. The match-funding
consisted of money that had been raised by the volunteers at the museum
and volunteer 'man-hours' required to finish the project. |
