Here's hoping the exhibition contents doesn't finish up on that horrendous programme Storage Wars! There's so much there it's painful it's unlikely to resurface in the near future.

Glad that they are doing well enough to expand. Sorry to hear that the previous owner took everything from the downstairs museum.

Unfortunately I fear it won't be found but where on earth can it be hidden?

Probably in Wesley's shed

Keep an eye on Ebay,in case items start to appear.

Wesley's shed disappeared too so should we be looking for that?

Before Summer Wine, there was Bamforth's, but the collection of postcards that they printed was housed at the Tolson Museum in Huddersfield the last time I heard anything about it! To me, Holmfirth is wool weaving, because my primary interest is in the history of any locality where I happen to find myself.

I'm not on face ache, but the wife is & keeps me updated. You may see the wall hanging that we're donating. Truly wish Jackie & Dennis all the success they deserve for keeping Summerwine alive.

Looks like they took the chuffing shed this time too.

Sounds like the previous occupants emptied it!

Basically having to start from scratch again. There's a legal case going on regarding the previous owner selling off the contents, (allegedly to a local fan), that didn't belong to her. I hope some of the items can be found. Congrats to the Wrinkled stocking for stepping in & making the best of it.

Hopefully they are returned, and if so the buyer will be seriously out of pocket, the law of caveat emptor certainly applies!
