Filey Museum - The Garden

«back
Although this outside area to the rear of the museum is a display area
it is also a peaceful garden, in which we hope you will take a rest.
In fact it has won local awards three times as the best non-domestic
garden in Filey.

| One of the cottages was a farm building and
the agricultural link is emphasised by the display of old farming machinery. The
fishing link is made obvious by the actual salmon coble (donated by a
local fisherman)
now on display opposite. The hidden surprise, however, is the baiting
shed. This small building, provided by the local Lions organisation,
is an accurate re-creation of the conditions in which the preparatory
work
for fishing was carried out. A six minute DVD presentation explains
the process in detail. |
