The museum welcomes back Matt Sayers for a new exhibition of his paintings which offer an insight into our local community as it used to be.

Community is important in any town, it will resonate with people everywhere, every town has its story to tell, who they are, and their community spirit.

In this exhibition Matt aims to depict the local mining community of our recent past, capturing what they did to make them smile and help up lift others, especially through dark times, offering an insight into a time now gone.
