ADMISSION
STILL CHEAP You have found the museumThe Riverside Municipal Museum keeps the ordinary things that used to be in people's drawers: ferry tickets, shop signs, a fire bell, and one cannon that has never been fired on purpose. We are in the old post office, up the stone steps, past the clock that is right twice a day. If the door looks shut, push it. It sticks. Three small hallsThe River Room. Models of barges, a real oar, and photographs of floods. The 1962 water line is marked on the doorframe. The Button Cabinet. 4,218 buttons, filed by colour because the last curator gave up on dates. Please use the drawers gently. The Loud Corner. Radios, a school bell, and a gramophone. Ask at the desk if you want something switched on. We might say no. TicketsAdults 4. Children under 12 free. The annual pass is a cardboard rectangle with a stamp on it. Card payments work when the machine is in a good mood. Cash always works. Find us14 Ferry Lane, upstairs. Groups of more than eight, please write first so we can put out more chairs. |
