Museum winding down in Weybridge

You may have read that Elmbridge Museum is reducing its opening to two days a week — Friday and Saturday — and is expected to close its Weybridge Church Street location to the public in about 18 months. This is part of a plan to change the way Elmbridge Museum works, which involves cataloguing and photographing well over 40,000 items, in preparation for increased online access and more active museum outreach. It it hoped this will give wider access to the museums’s many treasures.
Weybridge worries
But what does this mean for Weybridge? We will be without a museum in our town after so many years. And there is some concern about what will happen to the building in Church Street (owned by Surrey County Council), which also houses the library.
