Day off for Jon and we decided to explore locally today. Even though it’s on our doorstep, Jon had never been to Newbury Museum … and I had only visited the once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a very small museum and the renovation of the museum got a lot of criticism with incorporating a modern touch into one of the oldest buildings in Newbury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first part of the museum takes an overview of everything West Berkshire has to offer. It then focuses on the Civil War Battles of Newbury. There is also a focus on the cloth industry that developed in Newbury thanks to Jack O’Newbury and other notable contributions local industry have made internationally – Plentys and the life boat and Vodafone. Bringing the exhibition up to modern day, one room featured the local COVID response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n
