Dursley Heritage Centre is pleased to host a new exhibition on behalf of Sharpness 150 to celebrate 150 years since the opening of Sharpness New Dock on 25th November 1874. The port of Sharpness has been a huge part of the local community and employed hundreds of local people during its heyday. It also stands at the southern end of the Gloucester to Sharpness canal linking the city of Gloucester to the River Severn. You can find out more about Sharpness 150 at https://sharpness150.org.uk. The exhibition is only on show at the Heritage Centre until Friday 16th August so why not pop in to take a look at the photos, maps and other information – we’re open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (10.00-12.00).
