Huge thanks from all of us at National Trust of Guernsey to everyone who came along to our Granite Artefacts drop-in last Saturday. There was a constant stream of visitors with photographs, artefacts and some very special objects, all accompanied by unique stories of the granite industry. We’re now collating all information and placing everything in context for the story and display.
Groundwork at our new small museum is underway and we’ll be sharing news and photos as soon as possible.
Many thanks to Guernsey Press for coming along to share the story for Monday’s Press.
We look forward to keeping everyone posted as this important history develops.
