  • Lovely time seen lots of local items from the the past and from local digs
  • An exceptionally interesting trip down memory lane. An eclectic nostalgic mix of memorabilia ranging from a cursed chair that brought doom to those who sat in it, through to fossils millions of years old; not forgetting the cricketing founder of Lords, a working comptometer, olde worlde rooms, bygone farming and kitchen equipment and local history galore. Fascinating. Well worth a visit.
  • It was very interesting as not only was it about the Lords Cricket Ground founder but also what it was like in over the years in Thirsk and surrounding areas.
