Many in Masham remember the bakery at the rear of Reah's (or Brayshaw's as was) on Silver Street.
In 2016 we worked with the owners and two funders (HLF and Leader) to develop a Heritage Learning Centre.
The space is large and still has the original wall ovens including a solid fuel one. It is currently just used for storage and needs a lot of work to bring it back into use but our vision was strong!
We can see a classroom space where we can have children taking part in workshops about Masham and town life through the centuries.
We can see a workshop space where we can run local heritage crafts and skills courses - like bread making or straw hat making - did you know Masham was a centre of straw hat making once?!
We can see talks about looking after your older property or how to research your home.
We can see walls covered in photographs, maps and stories about Masham
We can see people coming in to use our resources to find out more about their family history or the history of their house.
We can see the many precious items people donate us, having their own secure home.
All whilst bringing back to life the literal hearth of Masham life.
Unfortunately, due to the sad passing of Mr Lilley, our plans were put on hold. The whole property is now up for sale and we have even bigger plans....more coming soon...
