True's Yard Museum Today
| What would 'Timo'van Pelt and 'Sam' Southgate
(right), the old North End Pilot, make of True's Yard if they came here today? They would certainly recognise the cottages, as they have been faithfully restored to match the way they would have been decorated and furnished in 1850 and 1920. They wouldn't recognise the old Smithy, as this now houses displays on North End life and the Wash fishery. The Naval Reserve is no longer a pub, as it houses more displays, as well as our archive rooms. What would Timo and Sam make of our new computer suite and education rooms there, as well? |

A visit
to True's Yard today, where you will usually be able to talk with an old Northender such
as Tom Long (left), still conveys a feeling of gritty endurance against the odds. Look out for special events such as talks, exhibitions and courses, which regularly happening at the museum Friends of True's Yard The Friends of True's Yard was formed to stimulate
interest in the collection and raise money to support the upkeep of the museum. For more details contact the museum or visit their website here |
