The Royston Crow
is still the town newspaper and the majestic Columbian printing press (see
left), which
was used from the first edition in 1855, commands the attention as soon as
you enter the museum.
The trail
leads to two wall cases which house some marksmanship prize trophies from
the Volunteers of the 19th century, together with items from the Boer War
and two World Wars.
On from
the 1930s, through to the 1950s, with memorabilia from the present Queen’s
Coronation, and the final section which shows objects from 1960-1980. This
includes a Beatles programme, the first home computer (Sinclair ZX), and an
example of an early automotive exhaust emission catalyst, which was made
here in Royston. Finally, there is a case of souvenirs commemorating
historic events in Royston.
Still on
the ground floor, go to the back lobby and be sure to see the panoramic view
of the Royston Cave. This will give you some idea of the mystery of
the Cave, which might not necessarily be open at the time of your visit.
Then make your way upstairs and you will see one of our temporary
exhibitions, which usually change every six weeks.
