Chilwell School. a specialist in Arts, Maths and Computing, visited the museum recently. We were delighted to receive a letter from Miss V L Thorpe, Subject Leader for History :
"I would like to express my thanks on behalf of Chilwell School for the opportunity to bring our students to your museum. They found the visit extremely interesting and informative. They particularly enjoyed the demonstration of the framework knitting machine and the opportunity to participate in the knitting process.
I look forward to bringing the students in the future." |
