If you had ancestors or family in the Erith area of Kent this site will be of interest. Managed by the Erith Museum Group on Behalf of Bexley Council it is an example of local people and volunteers working together to save an important resource.
In 1998 it was feared that the Museum would be closed. A successful public campaign by the local community over two years lead to the renewed support of the Local Council and the management of the museum being handed over to the present volunteer group. This has resulted in increase in the number of people using the museum. Erith Museum Website
