We had a great day at the Heritage Centre last Saturday when Paul 
Johnson and Gail Drinkall came out to give us guidance on the care and 
treatment of some of our cultural heritage objects. After showing us the 
tools and materials we would be using, all of which were quite easily 
available, and how and when to use them we sat down to some 'hands on ' 
cleaning. It certainly transformed all the items we were working with, 
particularly some old horse harness. This harness was donated by John 
Holloway just a few weeks ago and would probably have been hanging on 
their hooks on the wall ever since the last horse was loosed out at the 
Castle around 75 years ago! The photo shows one half in its original 
condition and one half cleaned and treated - quite a difference! We all 
learned a great deal, thoroughly enjoyed the day and would like to pass 
on huge thanks to Paul and Gail for their easy going tuition and help.
