Sep 19 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm


Emma O’Connor, the Society’s Museums Officer, will also discuss approaches to collecting and highlight just some of the more eccentric items in the collections. There will be a focus on the ‘salty flavour’ of the collections at Marlipins Museum, now celebrating a centenary of sharing the history of Shoreham.
