AN EXHIBITION detailing Corsham's history from the Jurassic to the digital age has proved so intriguing that it will run for an additional week.
Corsham Institute's Tablet to Tablet exhibition, which has been curated by creative and digital media apprentices from a selection of items and artwork donated by the community, will run for an additional week starting on Monday, October 31 at The Courtyard in Hartham Park.
Claire Alexander, chief operating officer of the Corsham Institute said: “Our apprentices have done an amazing job bringing it all together. More than 120 photographs and dozens of artifacts have brought Corsham’s history alive and we’re very proud of their efforts."
Described as 'fascinating' and 'exceedingly interesting' by visitors, the multimedia exhibition explores how Bath stone was formed, the Roman villa in Box, the history of stone quarrying, the development of Lacock and the role of the railway and Box tunnel, through to the use of the mines during the two world wars, the secrecy surrounding the Burlington bunker and how it all led to the Corsham we see today.
The free exhibition will be open from Monday, October 31 until Saturday, November 5. For more information contact events@corshaminstitute.org.
