Exhibition Hailed Great Success

Over the years Axis has shown many thousands of images from Barry and the surounding area at our local history exhibitions and comments from delighted visitors always inspired the more keen among us to do more. Our latest large scale local history exhibition, entitled 'Mind Your Own Business' which took place on Saturday 26th April at the Barry Memorial Hall, Oriel Room has been hailed a great success by all. We would like to take thank all those who attended and donated items for future display which has served to make all our efforts worthwhile. The sample advertisement that we have provided at the head to this page dates from 1895. Also, one can not help but notice the sudden upsurge in talk of Museum's and or Cultural Centres, which would prevent Barry's loss of identity. Yes!!! A decade, one in which our society has brought together a considerable number of photographs, documents, and artefacts. Secondly, a decade when our need for display space for same has risen from that of 6ft table, to complete halls. In 2000, we held the largest exhibition of Barry related local history material in decades. In that same decade we have risen from non-charity to charitable status.
