During one of his visits to the Rochdale Museum stores, Seb opened a box, and under some crumpled tissue paper caught a glimpse of blue fabric that he recognised immediately, the stores had no idea they had it, or indeed what it was when he showed it to them !!! The stores kindly offered to put it on display for us at a later date, but I don’t think they were ready for three men turning up and worshiping it like it was the Turin Shroud. It is now on display at Touchstones in Rochdale.
Doing ‘research’ in Rochdale Museum stores. I call it research, but it’s jolly good fun really.
