🏴Small social history museum just on the Welsh side of the Powys/Radnorshire-Shropshire border. Dementia-friendly and run by volunteers.🏴
These are the views of our curator - as is the slant towards industrial archaeology and cats.

Meet our Sunday volunteers. The group photo was our open evening for the local history group last night. Sue was a Wars of the Roses re-enactor before she moved to Knighton. Emily is our youngest volunteer and an illustrator of children’s books.

I generally try to keep my museum postings focused on the Anglo-Welsh border, to promote our excellent institutions such as @knightonmuseum.bsky.social - but for David Attenborough I'm prepared to make an exception 👇
