Costessey Memories Exhibition Private View

Last week we had a Private View of the Costessey Memories exhibition at the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell. Around x40 people attended, including representatives from the Norfolk Museum Service. A splendid time was had by all, and everyone was really impressed by, both, the achievements of the Costessey Memories group, as well as by the exhibition. Here are some photographs taken by volunteer, Francesca Arnold:

The Costessey Memories Exhibition

The Costessey Memories exhibition has just ended its month-long run at The Costessey Centre. During this time, we estimate, conservatively, that over a thousand people have taken time to look at it. We would like to thank the staff at the centre for being so welcoming and allowing us to share our memories here. 

Next Tuesday, it will be moving to the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell, where it will be for two weeks. During that time we are going to be having an invitation-only private view of the exhibition as a way of formally celebrating the success of the group. 

In addition to the 'hard copy' photographs such as the one of the Costessey lads, pictured above, there will be a slideshow projected onto the museum wall featuring around 150 images of Costessey's past. Here are a few examples of what will be on view...

Looking at the last two photographs, we too hope to make quite a splash with our Bridewell exhibition!
