Our Collections

We have a collection of posters from the early 20c. These are printers proofs and include the date of printing and the number of copies made.

The printer was a Mr Venning, and the collection is naturally called "Venning's Posters" .

This fascinating glimpse into the everyday social life of the town has been scanned to computer and is available to browse.
