Press Darlings - early press for Adam and the Ants

Thought I'd scan some of my Adam and the Ants clippings. Hopefully someone will like them. Some I had to reduce on a photocopier in order for them to fit on the scanner. Sorry they're not complete - just a flavour of the times.

New book from Radstock Museum

“Radstock Reminisces” written by Radstock Museum Volunteers, £15.
A new book on Radstock, compiled by a group of Museum volunteers, charts the history of Radstock from village to town; celebrating its people, buildings and industries.
The history is brought to life with relevant articles reprinted from “Five Arches” magazine, personal memories from Museum Volunteers  and additional items from the Society’s Archive.
The production of the book has been supported by a donation from the Radstock Town Council and all proceeds go to the museum.

 Radstock reminisces £15 from Radstock museum.
Sue popped into the Museum and picked up this large paperback and we weren't disappointed. The articles are mostly taken from the Five Arches magazine and they cover all aspects of Radstock history. Photos are also there to enjoy. In short a great addition to your library
