Britain's What's On Event Guide
Journey from the Centre of the Earth
Heritage Open Day: A chance for members of the public, normally busy in the week, to visit the museum and view the new geology display.
The samples are examples of one-metre cores extracted from a local borehole drilled to a depth of 656m as part of the JET project. Whitchurch is renowned for being the only town in Shropshire to have been continually inhabited on the same site since being built in Roman times. So why not visit the volunteer-run Museum and find out about the history of Whitchurch and its surrounding villages ?
A special display for Heritage Open Days focuses on geological core samples extracted recently from a borehole on local farmland. The results date back nearly 200million years to the Jurassic Age when Whitchurch was a desert and dinosaurs were walking on the earth.
