“Heritage is more than dead things on a shelf in dusty, old buildings. To some people, the Edwin Fox is a hull and some bits of old timber. But to me, it s a talisman of how my great-great-grandfather set out to raise a family in New Zealand.” According to the trust s submission, the walls of the Marlborough Museum were a fire risk, its doors let in ants, and its roof had leaked since “day one”, 31 years ago.

The former Nelson Museum in Great Yarmouth is set for a new lease of life when it reopens next month as an art gallery.
Having exhibited items dedicated to Admiral Lord Nelson for 17 years, until the museum s closure in 2019, the building will soon display paintings and sculptures by both local and international artists.
Now named the Yare Gallery, the premises on South Quay is owned by the Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust (GYPT) and has been revamped as a new, free-to-enter art venue for the town.

Poignant memories are continuing to be shared as the Great Yarmouth borough joins the nation in mourning the death of Prince Philip.
Remembering The Duke of Edinburgh, the Union Flag and Borough Flag are both flying at half-mast until 8am the day after the funeral, as a mark of respect.
A borough council spokesman said: In order to support public safety during coronavirus, there will not be a physical book of condolence at the Town Hall or other civic venues.
