## **ANNUAL REPORT 2023/2024**
FOR
THE SEASIDE MUSEUM 12 WILLIAM STREET HERNE BAY CT6 5EJ
## **A WORD FROM THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES**
Our volunteers continue to do sterling work. They freely give of their time to cover the reception with welcoming greetings, serve in the shop which is increasingly busy, stocktake, keep the premises tidy and clean and run many varied events. These help to create a busy, loved and successful local museum. We have a large number of willing volunteers but always will welcome more. My grateful thanks to this loyal band.
Thank you to our Trustees. Their work is often unseen but is essential. They are rightly proud of what the Museum has achieved so far and working hard to plan for a secure future. Rising costs are impacting annually and the Board is fully aware that we require careful financial planning.
The museum continues to be grateful to Canterbury City Council for its annual grant and building maintenance.
The Museum is fortunate to have a proficient part-time Manager. Clare has worked tirelessly to guide and supervise our every step since we took over management in early 2015.
Our series of continuing temporary exhibitions are always well received. The following pages will enable you to appreciate the importance of our Collection, our work with the local community, schools, visitors including many from overseas, the breadth of exhibitions and events.
We are currently making progress on an exciting refurbishment of the first floor which we believe will bring increased visitor numbers and interest. Once again, my appreciation and thanks to all involved and grateful appreciation and future warm welcome to our visitors.

## **GOVERNANCE AND STAFFING**
The Seaside Museum Herne Bay is a non-profitmaking venture run by the Herne Bay Museum Trust under a Management Agreement with Canterbury City Council, and managed and run by volunteers and a part time manager.
## Background
Herne Bay’s museum was threatened with closure in 2014. Herne Bay Museum Trust was founded and went through a tender process with Canterbury City Council to run the museum. The Trust has been contracted by CCC to provide museum services at the museum in Herne Bay since July 2015. The Trust receives a small management fee used for running the museum. The contract will end on 31st March 2027. A lease for use of the building, at a peppercorn rent, will expire on the same date.
The Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (association status) run by a Board of nine Trustees although maximum membership has never exceeded eight and currently stands at five.

ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
Volunteers facilitated or attended over 50 events on behalf of the museum.
Volunteers have given talks about the Dambusters, Roman Pudding Pans and the history of the museum to WI groups, historical society groups and community groups. Exhibition curators gave talks about Making Do and Mending and Hoodening.
We collaborated with Birdwise for two of our Seashore Secrets sessions at the museum.
We held activities associated with our temporary exhibitions such as ‘Making a Button Picture’ for the Make Do and Mend exhibition or creating and performing a Hoodeners play as part of the Hoodening exhibition.
During the summer holidays we held several Lego days and watched imaginations take over.
We held two Flint and Fossil days, during those days visitors were able to test out modern day flints by cutting fruit, vegetables and leather. Handle the tools of our prehistoric ancestors and learn more about flints and fossils in our collection.
We opened up our Museum Store to the public to give access to objects in storage and to discuss the challenges of caring for a museum collection.
Over the year we have taken the museum outside with Seasonal Wildflower Walks. Played and learned on the beach with our Seashore Safaris, Seashore Days and Scavenger Hunts. A group of volunteers led a walking tour of Herne looking into the Herne’s Smuggling Secrets. We also held our annual New Year’s Day Litter Pick to help clean the streets and beach of Herne Bay.
We joined in with Dinosaur Day activities and a Vintage Christmas Day at Herne Bay library. We also took objects to the Dover History Day and Powell Cotton History Day. Volunteers attended the annual launch of the New Wheels of Time scheme at Ramsgate Tunnels.
We held several Meet Us at the Museum Days to recruit new volunteers. This was an opportunity for anyone interested in volunteering to meet current volunteers and learn more about opportunities at the museum.
In the summer of 2023 we joined other organisations at the Memorial Park for Baytastic. We took along a box of ‘mystery’ objects for people to discuss their uses and promoted our events for Herne Bay Festival.
We finished off 2023 with performances by three different Hoodening Groups from Canterbury, Whitstable and St Nicholas at Wade.
We have continued to participate in the Wheels of Time scheme. Signing up school age children to this scheme encourages them to visit the many independent museum around Kent.

2023/2024
## COLLECTIONS
The collection of objects at the Seaside Museum is an important record of Herne Bay’s heritage. Its reorganisation which was commenced in late 2022 was completed by March 2024. This involved rehousing objects in separate boxes by what the are made of (e.g. china, glass, metal, wood, textile, paper etc) and in the case of paper objects by their purpose (e.g. guides, programmes, photographs etc). Care for paper objects and photographs has been improved by their housing polyester pockets. To improve access and care, paper objects are now placed in archival folders and arranged by year of accession.
The collection continued to grow in 2023-4 with 18 donations comprising 75 objects. In addition, there were two major donations. The Herne Bay Historical Records Society gifted 120 objects, and of note were the Welby collection of fire marks, the Herne Bay Market toll list board, and a large panorama of Herne Bay seafront. J Oakley gifted a collection of over 600 commercial receipts from businesses in the town dated to the early 20th century.
An application to South East Museums Development for a collections care grant of £700 was successful and enabled the purchase of polyester pockets, museum grade storage boxes and acid free tissue paper vital to the care of the collection.
Effort has been made wherever possible to bring objects out of store for the public to view either in the museum or at events outside. An exhibition ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ displayed an eclectic range objects that had not seen the light of day for decades, if at all. The ‘People’s case’ in the museum’s foyer showed a range of objects that reflected Herne Bay’s past glory as a holiday resort. It also showed objects relating to past coronations to celebrate the King’s coronation in May 2023. In June 2023 the museum participated in the ‘Kent History Day’ event held at Dover Museum, the theme for which was transport, and displayed a variety of objects from the collection.
Archaeological objects were loaned out for workshops, and several posters were loaned to Ditchling Museum of Arts and Crafts for display. Original artwork was borrowed (loan in) from the Templeman Collection at the University of Kent for a town event that celebrated the artist Duchamp and his work.
The museum continues to work closely with Canterbury City Council Museums service by managing the Herne Bay collection on its behalf and had regular meetings with Collections Manager Craig Bowen who is thanked for his guidance and support.
The Honorary Curator has been very ably assisted by Barbara Delaney who brought a wide range of knowledge and skills in collections management. Barbara stood down as a volunteer at the end of March for personal reasons and is thanked for her help and support over many years. Lesley Tivey joined us in early 2023 and has devoted her time to the demanding task of curating and researching the recently acquired collection of receipts.

## ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTION
In April the museum received a QRA Quarternary Grant to purchase two replica skulls (Homo heidelbergensis Skull and Homo neanderthalensis Skull). These have been used at various events.
## Conservation of Palaeolithic artefacts:
Work has now been completed to update the database and repackage these artefacts. All artefacts are now wrapped in tissue and placed in individual archaeological finds bags, the bag labels contain the item number and brief details. This work was assisted by students from the University of Kent.
## Outreach
Palaeolithic handaxes and fossil outreach boxes were prepared for the Library’s Dinosaur Day.
The Seaside Museum attended the Heritage Fair at Powell-Cotton Museum; Palaeolithic stone tools were displayed along with presentation boards on the collection's significance.
Two one-day pop-up exhibitions titled People and Beast of the Ice Age were held; these were very successful and well-attended events. I was assisted by students from Christ Church University, Canterbury.
I gave a talk to the Isle of Thanet Archaeological Society, “The Lost Worlds of the Palaeolithic: The Evidence from East Kent”, giving the latest news about the dating and importance of the Fordwich handaxes held in the Seaside Museum.
2023/2024
## Publications
A number of research papers that have drawn on research in the museum over the past year 202324 have now come to fruition, are now published, and are available to access digitally online. These can be found in the Lithics Journal, Antiquity, Journal of Photography and Culture and The Antiquaries Journal.
On behalf of all researchers, I’d like to thank the museum for allowing access to the important collections for these and continuing works.

## GALLERIES
The galleries group have had another busy year enhancing the permanent case displays. This year’s work has focussed on cases that cover Leisure and Pleasure in Herne bay and Visiting and Staying in Herne Bay.
2023/2024
## RETAIL
This year the Retail Group have concentrated on maintaining the high standard of goods that can be bought in the shop. They have also searched for different suppliers who provide high quality, reasonably priced stock.
The group has looked at developing a range of goods that are exclusive to the museum, Colour was added to a design that was made for the museum a few years ago. We have produced postcards, posters, bags and coaster of this print.
Our 2024 calendar created from the top 12 photographs from the Herne Bay Healthiest Spot exhibition was very popular with shoppers.
Members of the retail group are always on the look out for new local Makers to supply the shop on a sale or return basis. Several new makers now have their stock in the shop. Ensuring that visitors and shoppers have a wide variety of items to purchase.
The museum shop continues to be one of the main sources of revenue for the Trust.

## WHAT OUR VISITORS SAY
## TRIP ADVISOR
-It's a small museum, but there are lots of interesting things to see. Our daughter enjoyed doing a trail which encouraged her to look and find answers from the displays. It was really interesting to see the old maps and photos of Herne Bay.
There is a shop selling some lovely crafts by local artists and some Herne Bay souvenirs.
-Very sweet and interesting. It's not massive but has a very interesting collection of artifacts from pre historic to fairly modern. It's a place worth visiting to keep it alive as if we don't use them they go and gone forever. Lovely 2 ladies who were full of knowledge wit and humour. Go see it keep it going.
-Very interesting museum about the town and its history and the wider area. Well informed and helpful volunteer staff made this a very enjoyable visit - thank you!
## GOOGLE BUSINESS
I went there recently for the first time and I was very impressed.
It's a bigger museum than it looks from the outside and is on 2 floors, (there's a - rather slow - lift for those that need it).
The ladies working there were very pleasant, and the main thing - the exhibits - are varied and interesting and very well set out.
It's not expensive either and is most definitely worth a visit.
Well presented, wide coverage of local interest. Highly dedicated volunteers
Visited their Stone Age exhibit. What an insane collection of flint hand axes from the local area they have. Truly a collection that rivals some of the big museums in London. Some amazing artefacts from different eras too! Amazing little museum and a must visit!
Staff so friendly, and. Information about Herne bay was fantastic, found it very interesting, Thankyou again
Such a lovely hidden gem. We came across through wandering the streets of Herne Bay. Such a shame this isn't listed as things to do and see in Herne Bay when searching on Google.
