Guest Hill 60 Posted 21 August , 2003 Share Posted 21 August , 2003 You could try: Durham Light Infantry Museum Collection This beautifully re-furbished museum tells the story of The Durham Light Infantry from 1758 to 1968, with particular emphasis on the two World Wars. The displays focus on the experience of war, using letter and diary extracts plus the actual voices of WWII veterans. Displays also cover the WWII Home Front in County Durham. The regimental archive is held in the Durham County Record Office, just a few minutes walk from the museum.

Tom Morgan Posted 21 August , 2003 Share Posted 21 August , 2003 Perhaps it's only a one-in-a-hundred chance that this will happen to you but........email, or phone or something before you go to the museum and tell them when you want to go and see if it'll be properly open. I only ever went to Durham once (earlier this year.) I was actually driving from Newcastle to Liverpool between battlefield tour meetings and I deliberately went to Durham just so I could visit the DLI Museum. But when I got there there was a conference or something and some of the most interesting parts of the museum were closed. The staff on the counter told me about this restricted opening, all credit to them. So I went to the cathedral instead. (Fantastic, but I had been looking forward to the DLI Museum as I'd heard so many good reports about it and couldn't see any reason why I should be in the area again in the foreseeable future.)

Bob Coulson Posted 21 August , 2003 Share Posted 21 August , 2003 I live not too far from the DLI Museum at Aykley Heads and yes they do occasionally let it out for other exhibitions. Believe they have a dinosaur exhibit coming soon. It's always best to check. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
