A History of Primary Education

A new exhibition entitled “When I Was Six” is now on display in the Treasure House in Beverley.

The exhibition, which presents a history of primary education in the East Riding, was compiled by volunteers of the East Riding Rural Life Project at Skidby Windmill.

Fiona Jenkinson, the project co-ordinator, said: “This is the third in a series of Treasure House exhibitions compiled by the team of volunteers, who also put on displays in Skidby Windmill itself. “When I Was Six” includes pictures spanning the past 100 years or so from several schools around the East Riding, as well as lots of objects that many people will remember from their own school days.”

The exhibition runs until October 18th in Gallery Two of the Treasure House on Champney Road in Beverley. The Treasure House is open from 9.30am to 5pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; from 9.30am to 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and from 9am until 4pm on Saturdays. Admission to all galleries is free.
