'Give My Regards to Broad Street’
Weobley Museum Exhibition 2026
Next year our exhibition at the museum will focus on the history of Broad Street. We want to look at the shops and businesses but, more importantly, at the people who lived and worked on Broad Street through the centuries. Most of our records are from the 19th and 20th centuries so our focus will mainly be on this period. If you have any photos or memorabilia or documents which you could share with us relating to the history of Broad Street please could you get in touch with me – [email protected].
I have recently taken over as co-curator from Carole Page, who has very ably looked after the artefacts and run our very special museum with Sue Hubbard for the past six years. Thank you to Carole for all the help she has given me. I am very much looking forward to working at the museum with Sue and the wonderful team who keep it running.

What is D-Day? D-Day is a significant event in history that marked a turning point in World War II. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched a massive amphibious invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France, in an operation codenamed “Operation Overlord.” This operation, known as D-Day, was a crucial step in liberating Europe from Nazi Germany’s control.
