Deal Museum
Deal Maritime & Local History Museum, 22 St. Georges Road, Deal, Kent, CT14 6BA
Over the Heritage Open Day weekends we will be running a photographic exhibition, 'Deal Buildings of the Past' using rarely or never before seen photographs from our archive.
David Parker, MD of Canterbury Auctions will be at the museum on the 7th September, 1pm-4pm offering free valuations to anyone who brings in their treasures!
The archives will also be open to the public on both weekends.
There is a permanent exhibition about the Royal Marines long association with Deal, which includes films, a dial-up telephone with recorded memories of Royal Marines, Wrens and others plus dressing up clothes for children. Upstairs there are displays about the local and domestic history of the town plus two original Hooden horses and a stuffed, flute-playing rat. The Maritime Gallery houses model and full-sized boats. The collection of life jackets is supplemented by photos and details about the men who saved the lives of so many on the sea. In the courtyard, there are more boats, fascinating gravestones, model cannons and seats to rest on.
