(formerly the Spelthorne Museum FB group page. I took it over when the Museum decided to combine all of their Digital Communication pages. The one I ran (this one) didn't match their new plan, and so when it became obsolete from their use I took it over for this website that I began in 2002, pre fb groups!)
