Two weeks ago, two iconic team members received recognition for having been part of our Museum’s history for 30 years.
- Louise Small remembers how her mother, her two aunts, her uncle, and her cousin started working at the Museum when it opened. During the summer holidays, she would accompany her mother and help clean up in the café. During these 30 years which, according to Louise, have flown by, she has worked in many different roles. Her favourite is the story of the chemist, Mr. Doo (and all the poisons), and most recently Lea Road Infant Welfare Centre.
- Barbara Tyler started on 2nd April 1994 and has always worked as an historic character. Her favourite building to work in is Jerushah – she makes the rugs and looks after everything.
Both have been employed as historic characters and supported the Museum through all of its developments during these years. Our sincere thanks to both Louise and Barbara for their contribution to giving our visitors a brilliant day out over the last 30 years.
Something that both highlight about a lifetime working at the Museum is the people. Louise says, ‘everyone is so nice, we are like one big family. I love how interesting visitors are as well’.
