194 Saturday 4th November 2023 Bankfield Museum, Halifax
Now that I was recovered, we were able to make a slightly more ambitious trip to the Bankfield Museum, Halifax which I had last visited in 1988. We went by train via Blackburn.
Because it was raining and the museum's a little way out of the centre we went for the bus. Halifax Bus Station isn't where it used to be in the old days of the LTS and it took us a while to find it.
We caught the bus to the museum. The main entrance was closed due to works but it was still open via a door at the back.
This was the end result.
We had light refreshments at the cafe. Part of the museum was closed off for a function for army veterans but we were able to go in the military exhibition. This coat was apparently worn by the Duke of Wellington. Upstairs was a textile exhibition. Simon models one of the dresses.
We then popped into the library and started working on a jigsaw. I was deliberately procrastinating hoping there would be some leftover nosh when the army buffers left. There was but nothing too special. At last we left the museum. It had stopped raining so we decided to walk back into the centre. We passed a KFC and decided to have something to eat there. We then caught the train back home.
