"How We Lived Then" is often featured on Radio and in the National Press and was recommended by BBC Television's "The Travel Show".

See also the Village Post Office, "Christmas Past", the Jewellers, old Eggcups, a collection of Royal souvenirs and several new displays, including Tennis and Sports.
