Tales from the Riverbank Exhibition

This exhibition tells an engaging story of river recreation in Thetford and nearby over the last century. It is in Thetford Library until 8 April, Watton Library from 12 April, then will be touring libraries and other venues in the Brecks. It was curated by young people in the Ancient House Museum history clubs using oral history accounts, photos and historic and new material gathered by Tales from the River project volunteers. There are six pop-up panels, with stories and images of swimming, fishing, boating festivals and other fun water-related activities. The project is collecting and celebrating river stories from across the Brecks, and is keen to hear from anyone with memories, photos, or tales to tell.
