Let’s celebrate! This year Bruce Castle Museum will be 120 years old, and what a roller coaster ride of survival it has been! Closed during two World Wars, used as a municipal health clinic during the twenties and thirties – and all the time teetering on the brink of full-time closure, maybe even demolition, as its very old fabric needed constant, urgent repairs. Now the recent MEND grant has given us a much-restored building we can look forward to many more years with Bruce Castle open to the public.

What are your early memories of coming here? Were you a child, or were you much older? What was it like when you first came, and what do you think of it now?  Have you got any memorabilia of events or exhibitions, or purchases from the shop? Let’s gather together our memories of Bruce Castle as we look forward to the next 120 years.

Come to the museum and share your memories over a cup of tea.
