19.01.2022 Highfield House is well worth a visit any time but made even more special now by these additional pieces donated by the Ford family.

09.01.2022 Here are two very early photos looking from the Nut along Godfrey's Beach which was the initial access route to Highfield. The Museum are looking for any photos of Tatlows Beach area showing the railway line along the foreshore and/or the sawdust dumping area.
