New exhibition at Prestwich Heritage Museum: The People's Park

Print this Event

Step back in time with a new exhibition which brings together a wide range of photographs, postcards and memorabilia relating to Heaton Hall and park.

The Egerton family originally owned the estate and Sir Thomas Egerton, who inherited the title and estate as a seven-year-old, set about creating what is largely the park we have today at 21. Sir Thomas was eventually created 1st Earl of Wilton in 1801, becoming the first peer in the family.

The exhibition includes a number of objects connected to the family including a silver trowel used at the laying of the foundation stone for St Margaret's Sunday School and a set of antlers from a deer killed in the park. There is also a tram driver's jacket circa 1910 and objects from the Papal visit in 1982.

The park, now owned by Manchester City Council (formerly Manchester Corporation), was purchased in 1902 and opened as a public open space.

The current exhibition will run throughout 2012 and is free to view during library open hours.

The Heritage Museum was established in partnership with Bury Art Museum and Prestwich and Whitefield Heritage Society and continues to attract large numbers of visitors to its poignant exhibitions, dedicated to exploring the social culture of Prestwich past and present. The museum is supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and by Prestwich Area Partnership.
