Good morning, ladies mud gentlemen, [00:00:00]
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the new Museum [00:00:02]
of Industrial and Rural Life. [00:00:06]
The museum provides us with the unique historical record of [00:00:08]
industrial and agricultural life in the area. [00:00:12]
Here, you 'll find a wonderful collection of industrial and [00:00:16]
agricultural exhibits. [00:00:19]
Some of them date back 200 years, which reflect the history [00:00:22]
of our area over the last two centuries. [00:00:26]
Until recently, the area was mainly agricultural, and the rural [00:00:29]
industries and traditions were all associated with agriculture. [00:00:35]
The museum's collections bring this heritage back to life with [00:00:39]
the fascinating blend of working and static displays. [00:00:44]
From early times, good communications with the rest of tfie [00:00:49]
country have led to industrial prosperity for the area. [00:00:52]
One example of such communications was the Roman Road, [00:00:57]
Portstmouth Street, which passed nearby. [00:01:01]
Later, canals came to bring new prosperity, and then the railways. [00:01:05]
Good transport systems encouraged local industries, [00:01:11]
especially those related to agriculture; [00:01:15]
and the museum has collections of national [00:01:17]
significance from many of these. [00:01:20]
Local people, too, have changed history, [00:01:23]
and the museum will introduce [00:01:26]
you to these and other local celebrities. [00:01:28]
The displays, with all items collected locally, [00:01:31]
show what local life used to be like. [00:01:35]
Many displays of local items are" in context" and show, [00:01:38]
for example, printer's and cobbler's workshops. [00:01:42]
Whatever your interest, [00:01:46]
we hope the museum will have something for you. [00:01:48]
