"Spreading the News "

Today we listen to the radio or watch TV for regular news Bulletins. This display looks at earlier ways of relaying news from Town Criers (Wotton still has one) newsheets and letters, mail coaches and trains, to cinemas, telegrams and telephones. The display features photographs and artefacts from the Historical Society's collection

The display runs from March to June 2011 and is in conjunction with the British Science Association's Science and Engineering week
