More information at the article in The Mail - Hidden Histories

Museum opens 11am to 4pm. The exhibition runs until 4 November, 2018.

We will be using our small metal salty pan and burning peat as the fuel to evaporate the brine.
Experience the overwhelming peat smell - or 'peat reek' as some call it.

The section on salt making around Morecambe Bay features new research by Jonathan Cass who has been transcribing probate documents with references to salt making.

Michelle Cooper, Headlands to Headspace Community & Heritage training officer at Morecambe Bay Partnership, said: "The exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and share the achievements of hard working volunteers from all around Morecambe Bay who have been unearthing, recording and researching hidden stories and archaeology from around the Bay."
