Oral History Training for the team. Key in recording Intangible Cultural Heritage!
@MuseumsGalScot @GoIndustScot
We’re finding out the gaps in the archives at @Mus_Scot_Rways with an Oral History Workshop by @OralHistorySoc trainer Dr Alison Chand. Being #InternationalWomensDay could it be influencing the conversation?

We have a new addition to the collection!
Beckton No.1 has been donated by the Industrial Locomotive Society. It is an 0-4-0 well tank locomotive built in Glasgow in 1870 by Neilson & Co.
It was on display at @PenrhynCastleNT since December 1963.
