Peter Hagger has been taking photographs since he was nine, and is never happier than when he’s outside capturing the world around him. Many of the beautiful photographs in this exhibition have been taken since the beginning of the pandemic. Peter says “photography has kept me sane during COVID, and if I have brought a bit of joy to others with my pictures, then that is a real bonus”.
Come and see Peter’s exhibition between the 2nd February – 12th March. Prints of photographs will be on sale, and all sales will go towards supporting the Museum.

Today's #FridayFind is this beaut, a HMV Radio Model 5213, c.1950. This particular one was donated to the museum by a local resident, who'd saved money from his local paper round in order to buy it. Just loving all the station options 🤩
Today's #FolkloreThursday theme is #LocalFolklore. In Huntingdonshire #folklore, it was said that at the death of a beekeeper, the bees must be told WITHOUT DELAY, and informed of their new guardian 🐝![]()

In #StNeots, it was believed that if a cat 🐱 was moved to a new home, it would only stay if its feet were buttered (not a task we'd like to attempt!) Once it settled down to lick them it would stay.
