Make a difference 

If you would like to make a monetary donation you can either go to the ‘Preserve Our History’ page

or contact us via email or phone.

The donation of your time is also invaluable to us - to fix things, paint, clean or generally potter around!!!!

No job is too big or to small & this Museum is run entirely by a dedicated group of Volunteers.

Donate funds to help us restore and preserve our history.

We have a valuable Moline plough & Cross Case tractor to restore as funds become available, but are concentrating on the Wheatbin roof & the GS wagon. Any assistance of both money & time are always most welcome.

Wheatbin Roof

Restoration of the Wheatbin roof is a major undertaking. In 2024 -25 the south side has been completed with the rust removed, undercoated, painted, new timbers to hold the removable sheets down, and wooden wedges made by the local Men’s Shed to keep the authentic look of the roof. Poles have been treated with tung oil.

When a grant is available the northern roof will be the next major project.

GS type Railway Wagon

This 10 ton wagon, built in 1941 and classified by the National Trust in 1998, is in the process of being restored by our volunteers. It was a new bulk cartage design at the time with steel floor, steel side doors and wooden sides and ends.
