Open Week at the Archive

Despite the cold weather we have had quite a few visitors in the Castle to have a look around the Archive and to look at the exhibition prepared by the students.

The Exhibition.

Our visitors yesterday were impressed by the work which has been carried out by the students over the last year and look forward to seeing the Archive grow. Two ladies who were former students also came to visit and brought with them some very useful memorabilia which we were able to scan. This included a student copy of the Village Survey which we haven't seen before. We also were given a copy of the Cooper and Tanner valuation dated 31st March, 1972 which related to the sale of 'Live and Dead Farming Stock, Hay, Straw, Seeds, Tillages and Acts of Husbandry' which were to be sold by the instructions of the City of Bath Education Committee. So folks, why did we sell off the animals? Answers on post card - or on the comments if you feel inclined!
