HISTORIC artefacts charting the history of Blandford are now on display at the town’s information centre.
The objects – which include Roman tiles and a century-old child’s bonnet – have been loaned to the centre in the Marsh and Ham car park by the Blandford Town Museum.
Deputy curator Dr Michael Le Bas has been busy arranging the objects on a table and a glass display case in the centre.
“We’re hoping the display will generate more visitors for the museum. Visitors to Blandford come to the information centre to find out what’s on in the town, and we hope our display will show we have a thriving museum,” said Dr Le Bas.
“Wendal” toy soldiers – made in the mid-20th century in Blandford – and Second World War ration books will also be displayed.
The items will remain in the Information Centre until July 9.
Blandford Town Museum is open from Monday to Saturday, between 10.30am and 4.30pm.
