Contemporary Heritage Curator's Blog: Gawthorpe Hall

September 2010
What a beautiful day! Glorious sunshine and I had forgotten my camera so I have borrowed a couple of photos taken by my colleague on a walk he did last year.

We had a Contemporary Heritage meeting at Gawthorpe Hall in Padiham this morning (17th) with Rachel Pollitt, the Keeper and Susan Liddell, Lancashire Museums Manager for the South, to progress ideas for the commission/s there.

This site intrigues me. Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth was a fascinating woman. A lot of thoughts are going round in my head. Rachel Pollitt has sent me off with a weighty guidebook so I can begin to unravel the history.
