A POIGNANT exhibition chronicling memories of a bygone age in Middlesbrough has opened at the town's Dorman Museum.
The event is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and recounts the life of the Wilson/Hill Street Neighbourhood that was built in the 1860s, and demolished a century later to make way for the redevelopment of Middlesbrough town centre.
Using audio-visual techniques, interactive displays, photographs, objects, cartoons and oral testimonies, the exhibition portrays the different aspects of the community's life, including education, housing, leisure and people's social activities.
The collective memories of former residents provide an interesting and poignant insight into a community life that is now largely lost.
The exhibition runs until August 31, and the museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10am to 5pm, and Thursday 11am to 6.30pm.
Admission to the museum and exhibition is free.
