A museum is showing a century of toys as part of its Christmas exhibition.

Kirkleatham Museum, in Redcar, is exhibiting items from its own collection and up-to-date play equipment.

There are low-flying model aircraft, dolls, cars, marbles, conkers, books and magazines as well as an interactive corner with PlayStation2 and jigsaws, and two tables of Lego.

"We are absolutely delighted with Lego's response to our request," said museum curator Alan Pearce. "We're sure it's going to be a real attraction for all ages."

The exhibition runs until January 11 and will be open for visitors attending the Museum's Christmas Extravaganza on Sunday, from 10am to 4pm.
