The museum, aka the phone box on Sea Mills Square has a new display to remember the old Infants School at Hallen Drive. It includes pictures of the school taken just before its demolition this year and pictures of the demolition itself. There are also some old images of the school in the 1950’s
We’d love to include more pictures of the school still in use, you can send them to us via info@seamills100.co.uk
The phone box is currently closed, but all the display can be viewed from the outside.
Last year we displayed at the museum a series of postcards written for us by children telling us about their experience during the first Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020. The exhibition was in place between August and October. It will now be offered to Bristol Archives to be part of their record of the pandemic. Click on the pictures below to to see some of the cards we received.
The museum currently has on display a series of cards we received from a kindergarten in Brisbane, Australia which arrived too late to be included in the first display.
The exhibition was also featured on the Bristol 247 website
