SEAFORD SCENE’S OBJECT OF THE MONTH Each month the Seaford Scene will identify an object of interest amongst the museum’s vast collection. Look out for the ‘Seaford Scene Object of the Month’ label which identifies it at the museum. WOODEN PHOTOCOPIER Seaford Museum not only has a comprehensive archive of documents relating to Seaford History but also has a huge and diverse collection of objects relating to social and domestic life. Visitors are fascinated when they see objects that they remember when they were younger and I regularly hear someone say “My Gran had one of those in her home!”. Some exhibits however are unusual, such a Braille typewriter, a mummified frog and this item – a wooden photocopier. When was the last time you saw one of these? The museum is now open longer hours so please call in and have a look at this quirky machine, which is on display in the Photographer’s Shop. Selected by Kevin Gordon Museum Summer Opening Times from April 7th: Sundays and Bank Holidays. 11am to 1pm and 2.30 - 4.30pm. Wednesdays and Saturdays. 2.30pm - 4.30pm.
