@caroline_nhs Our Victorian Christmas Weekend event on Sunday 8 December is still expected to take place, however we will continue to monitor the situation and will contact visitors who have booked tickets if anything changes. We will also post updates on our website and social media.

Cast by the Coalbrookdale Company in 1851 for the Great Exhibition, the Boy and Swan Fountain eventually returned to Coalbrookdale and was re-erected opposite the Old Furnace. It recently underwent conservation work with funding from the NHMF. #EYAAnimals #EYA @explorearchives

This tile picture panel, currently on display in the John Scott Gallery at Jackfield Tile Museum, features fairies at the christening of Sleeping Beauty. This hand-painted panel came to collector John Scott from a children's hospital ward. #EYAMythology #EYA @explorearchives

Not only does our Costume department create the historic outfits on display in our exhibits and worn by Blists Hill Victorian Town demonstrators, it also makes them for other heritage organisations. Find out more: #EYAFashion @explorearchives

Did you know that in 1932 an elephant from Chapman's Zoo-Circus crossed the Iron Bridge to promote the forthcoming arrival of the circus in the region? 🐘 We imagine it would've made a pretty huge impact on the people it passed by... #EYAHuge #EYA @explorearchives

Our museum collection ranges from gigantic whaling pots to historic costume and documents, but these miniature figures are definitely one of the tiniest items in our collection! #EYATiny #EYA @explorearchives

Last week Sarah Roberts, one of our Archivists, attended the @SocMusArch Annual Conference 2024 in Cardiff. Sarah delivered a talk on the digitisation of over 400 archaeology plans in 2023, during which she thanked funders for their support. #SMACon2024 #Conference
