The chairman of Wychavon took a trip back in time on a visit to Broadway Museum and Art Gallery for the attraction's 10th anniversary.

Cllr Robert Raphael explored a 17th-century food bank, the museum's curiosities cabinet, and the popular steam railway exhibition.

The museum, formerly The Angel Inn, housed H W Keil’s international antique business for over 70 years.

In 2013, with the help of Mr Keil and The Ashmolean Museum, it opened its doors as a museum and art gallery.

Ten years on, the museum has big plans including an interactive experience allowing guests to step into the shoes of those living in a historic bustling coaching inn.

The museum is also preparing for a new exhibition next year which will display the works of Broadway artists who found inspiration in the village.

Broadway has a rich history of artistic residents, including Peter Pan author J M Barrie, renowned portrait painter John Singer Sargent, and painter Frank Millet who died on the Titanic.

Cllr Raphael visited as part of the 50th anniversary tour of the district, marking Wychavon’s 50th birthday in April next year.

Cllr Raphael said: "Wychavon has such a rich history and it was fascinating to learn more about another part of our district's story.

"The museum's plans for the future are exciting and I encourage residents to go and visit and discover another one of Wychavon's heritage gems."
