Spring 2023 display
Many years ago the Museum was able to save some of the memorabilia from Halesworth Middle School. It has been held in storage for many years and now that the Museum has additional display space we can exhibit some of it in a spring exhibitionn display.
A cornucopia of memorabilia from the former Halesworth Area School (now Edgar Sewter Primary School), Halesworth Middle School and Halesworth Secondary Modern School takes pride of place in one of our brand-new display cases. Together, these institutions represent nearly nine decades (1923–2012) of education for local children. They also provide a chronicle of educational reforms and reorganisations across much of the 20th century.
On permanent display are the achievements boards on which many names of people still living in Halesworth and surrounding villages.
There are reminders of the secondary department of the Area School (now Edgar Sewter Primary School) and the Modern School.
When you visit the Museum you can record your reminiscences in our Memories File, if you wish.
The Museum will be having a Middle School Reunion on the evening of Thursday 27 April from 6pm to 8pm. To ensure that you get an invite email us at office@halesworthmuseum.org.uk with Reunion as the subject. You may also want to add some images and memories in your email.
Looking forward to your visit.
