Earlier this month, Mark Hignett who volunteers at Oswestry Town Museum, had to keep a big secret from us all until he’d been to a very special event.
Mark travelled to London after being invited to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Heritage Open Days. Mark is a staunch supporter and advocate for the national HODs (held in early September each year), which has seen Oswestry Museum create some brilliant presentations over the past 10 years.
Mark described what happened. “It was a very proud moment when they declared that our 2017 Gilbert and Gordon ‘ink to ash to diamond’ project, was one of the top 10 HODs events of all time and was being given a place in their 30 for 30 Gallery, celebrating 30 years of fantastic events across the country.”
Keep watching this space because there’s more to come.
Congratulations Oswestry Town Museum!
Gilbert Bradley and Gordon Bowsher had a secret love affair during World War II that they kept alive through more than 300 letters. A poignant story since homosexuality in Britain was illegal during that time.
