Early Deal exhibition at local Museum
The Addelam History Research Group has put on a new
Exhibition of “Early Deal” at the Deal Maritime and Local History Museum during
August.
The exhibition focuses on the era of 1660 to 1750. This was
a time of great change for Deal as a shipping port in the lower town and
gaining the Royal Borough Status. The history of the first Guildhall, built in
1703, was used as an undercroft market area and a council chamber. This
building is now used as an electrical shop.
The museum is also now selling new items in their shop such
as the laser cut cards of iconic buildings in Deal and make-your-own miniature
model of Timeball Tower kits. All profits from the shop go into the running of
the museum.
The museum is open 11am to 4.30pm from Tuesday to Saturday and
12pm to 4pm on a Sunday.
