Gareth Davies Posted 27 September , 2016 Share Posted 27 September , 2016 This may be of interest. I must admit that Scarlett's work doesn't do it for me, and Hughie is probably in the same category, but the Whitgift trench and associated exhibits look worth a visit. http://londonist.com/2016/07/5-exhibitions-to-reflect-on-the-somme-100-years-on?utm_content=bufferfe44c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 27 September , 2016 Share Posted 27 September , 2016 Gareth The Whitgift Exhibition is definately worth a visit. I have just written to them to suggest they clarify on their website for how long the Exhibition will run. The site you link to suggests it would finish on 31 August (which was the original date) but I think it is now going on to next Easter 2017.

The Scorer Posted 28 September , 2016 Share Posted 28 September , 2016 I contacted the School a couple of weeks ago, when they said that they were looking at extending it until the end of the year. This would be good for me, as I'm possibly going to be there between C******** and New Year, and I agreed that I'd contact them nearer my visit to make sure. I'm still planning to do that, so I'll let everyone know what response I get when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more than just a guidebook ; there are lots of excellent pictures of some of the artifacts in the exhibition together with a lot of information in a nicely produced book. I got mine from the shop/cafe and it is probablyalso available in the entrance to the exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scorer Posted 29 March , 2017 Share Posted 29 March , 2017 Well, I made a visit to this yesterday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's one of the best of it's type I have ever seen, and included lots of stuff that I hadn't seen before. Although it's arranged by the school and there's references to old boys and teachers, it's about much more than that, which makes it so good. What also added to the pleasure was the attitude of the staff, who were very good, and helped me with my visit. If you can get there and haven't so far, do go ... it's worth travelling!
