Elstree and Borehamwood Museum is marking its second anniversary of being based at the community hub at 96 Shenley Road.

The museum has welcomed more than 10,000 visitors since moving from Drayton Road and has staged a number of successful exhibitions of local interest, ranging from 100 Years of the Film Industry to the First World War and most recently celebrating EastEnders’ 30th anniversary.

The museum has also been involved in supporting the local community by hosting history walks, talks and reaching out to schools and teachers. The ‘Going down the Village’ free monthly reminiscence group has been hugely popular and offers a chance to share your memories and learn more about Elstree and Borehamwood.

Future exhibitions planned include ‘Smile Please’ looking at the importance of Borehamwood in the development of photography and ‘Are you being served?’ charting the changes of shopping in the high street. ‘From Village to Town: Celebrating a Century of Migration’, planned for 2017, encourages people to tell us about how they came to live in the area.
