Southend Museums great days out - join us on the journey

Peckham Space is a project initiated by Camberwell College of Art, University of the Arts London in partnership with Southwark Council. With free events for everyone, Peckham Space aims to significantly enhance Peckham Square, establishing it as part of south London’s visual arts route along Peckham Road that already includes the South London Gallery and Camberwell College galleries, amongst others. Peckham Space has been delivered five collaborative arts projects since June 2008 and over the coming 18 months we will be delivering our new commissioning policy by returning to work with already established project partners as well as new ones. In close consultation with our project partners, we will select artists with a proven track record of producing high quality work within a community context to deliver three 10 week exhibitions per year at Peckham Space’s new venue.

The St Andrews Preservation Trust Museum is a small, independent museum situated in a lovely 17th century house in the heart of the town’s old fisher quarter, a stone’s throw from both the Castle and the Cathedral. As a fisher home, Nos 12-16 North Street were once inhabited by up to twenty people at any one time. During the 1930s, this building and the adjacent building were sympathetically restored by local architect, James H. Scott, and converted into a single family home. Purchased in the 1960s by the Preservation Trust, the building was separated, one half becoming the Trust Museum. The Museum contains a wealth of fascinating information and objects pertaining to the history of St Andrews and its people. The ground floor is home to permanent displays featuring old St Andrews shops and businesses including grocers, Aikman & Terras, Keith’s the Chemist and Duncan’s the Dentist. Outside visitors can enjoy a glimpse into the past courtesy of Great Granny’s Wash House and a recently restored outside privy. The Museum’s award-winning gardens provide the perfect place to relax and enjoy a well-earned rest in secluded and peaceful surroundings. The Museum collections include fine art, costume, furniture and many other objects with local connections. There is also an important collection of some 10 000 photographs, postcards, slides and glass negatives. These can be viewed by arrangement with the curator and copies can be requested. The Museum mounts several exhibitions each year so there is always something new to see and enjoy. Recent exhibitions include the history of the ancient harbour and the local fishing community, the Victorians, the 1950s and the development of St Andrews from settlement to city.
