Volunteers work with the Dorset History Centre on the Shaftesbury Borough Archive cataloguing project. Gold Hill Museum Library for details.
Nestled in a traditional sandstone cottage at the top of the famous Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorset, is this fascinating museum.
Gold Hill was made famous by the Hovis bread advertisement in the 1970's directed by Ridley Scott, now famous for his films and television dramas.
The museum building was once a doss house, which provided accommodation for the drovers, jugglers and traders who came to Shaftesbury's markets and fairs.
Enjoy the museum's beautiful garden where you can sit and relax.
Gold Hill Museum reopens its doors after extensive building work. Open: Daily until 31st October from 10.30am - 4.30pm
Admission free (donations very welcome)
