[00:00:00] Good morning, ladies mud gentlemen,

[00:00:02] It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the new Museum

[00:00:06] of Industrial and Rural Life.

[00:00:08] The museum provides us with the unique historical record of

[00:00:12] industrial and agricultural life in the area.

[00:00:16] Here, you 'll find a wonderful collection of industrial and

[00:00:19] agricultural exhibits.

[00:00:22] Some of them date back 200 years, which reflect the history

[00:00:26] of our area over the last two centuries.

[00:00:29] Until recently, the area was mainly agricultural, and the rural

[00:00:35] industries and traditions were all associated with agriculture.

[00:00:39] The museum's collections bring this heritage back to life with

[00:00:44] the fascinating blend of working and static displays.

[00:00:49] From early times, good communications with the rest of tfie

[00:00:52] country have led to industrial prosperity for the area.

[00:00:57] One example of such communications was the Roman Road,

[00:01:01] Portstmouth Street, which passed nearby.

[00:01:05] Later, canals came to bring new prosperity, and then the railways.

[00:01:11] Good transport systems encouraged local industries,

[00:01:15] especially those related to agriculture;

[00:01:17] and the museum has collections of national

[00:01:20] significance from many of these.

[00:01:23] Local people, too, have changed history,

[00:01:26] and the museum will introduce

[00:01:28] you to these and other local celebrities.

[00:01:31] The displays, with all items collected locally,

[00:01:35] show what local life used to be like.

[00:01:38] Many displays of local items are" in context" and show,

[00:01:42] for example, printer's and cobbler's workshops.

[00:01:46] Whatever your interest,

[00:01:48] we hope the museum will have something for you.
