Annual Exibition
Our exhibition at Forge Mill Needle Museum is
entitled ‘History that flows through the River
Arrow’, and runs from Wednesday 24th October to
Sunday 25th November 2018.
Predating the habitation of the area, the River
Arrow came into existence at the time of the last
ice age nearly 12,000 years ago. Over the following
millennia, it has seen early man, the Roman
invasion, the great Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the
Norman Conquest, the expansion of monasteries,
the Industrial Revolution, the urbanisation of the
population and the development of the modern
‘New Towns’.
In this exhibition the Redditch Local History
Society using photographs, maps, drawings and
artefacts explores the history of this little river and
its importance to the history of Redditch and the
local area.
There are a number of community events within the
Redditch area in which we often have a presence.
These include events such as…
•
Headless Cross May Day
•
Beoley Church Summer Fete
•
Bandstand Community Event September
•
Heritage Open Day Forge Mill September
•
Headless Cross Apple Day October.
As we approach these events further details will be given
in our Updates page.
