Brandon’s Heritage Centre is located within the old Fire Station, which was modified\u00a01990s.\u00a0 The Fire Station is now in a purpose built building opposite the Heritage Centre.\u00a0 The Heritage Centre is small but aims to pack as much of Brandon’s heritage as is possible, and is managed by volunteers.\u00a0\u00a0From the flints, to fur, to forestry, wartime, bronze age and refreshing ‘pop-up’ exhibitions.\u00a0 Below is a floorplan to give an idea of what visitors can expect to see.<\/p>\n
FLOORPLAN<\/h4>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/heritage_centre_floorplan-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
“NEOLITHIC BEGINNINGS”<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170604-150x150.jpg\")
Take a trip into the\u00a0bottom of a flint shaft, as\u00a0Neolithic man mines for\u00a0valuable flint.\u00a0 Look at how cramped the tunnel on the bottom of the shaft is, as the men tunnel into the flint.\u00a0 Can you spot what tools they are using to extract the flint?\u00a0 So if working in those cramped conditions is not enough, now think about how you get a huge lump of heavy flint to the surface.<\/p>\n
“A MEDIEVAL FLOWERING”<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170605-150x150.jpg\")
So after Neolithic man made hand tools and arrow heads from flint what was next for this robust material?\u00a0 Building, that’s what!\u00a0 You will see flints in the walls of this region’s churches and other historic\u00a0buildings.\u00a0 Today, as we appreciate our architecture,\u00a0you may see flint going into new builds, although these tend to more cosmetic than structural.<\/p>\n
“A KILLING TRADE, Waterloo & all that”<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170609-150x150.jpg\")
Here we see the cramped conditions of the flintknapper, in our recreation of a room similar to those used by the ‘knappers.\u00a0\u00a0On display are the eye shields, to prevent injury from jagged flint flying off.\u00a0\u00a0 Also on display is a replica flintlock.\u00a0 Why not pull the latch back, pull the trigger and watch the small spark.\u00a0 Can you work out how the sparking flint would fire a projectile toward its target?\u00a0 At the heart of Wellington’s victory at Waterloo was flint knapped in Brandon Suffolk.<\/p>\n
“FIT FOR A KING”<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170623-150x150.jpg\")
As the need for flint waned Brandon was fortunate to find\u00a0another profitable business to get into.\u00a0 It was not long before huge fur factories employed vast amounts of labourers from the town.\u00a0 Rought’s on George Street and Lingwood’s on Lode Street (then London Road) were the big players, and boy did they create a smell!\u00a0 Numbers of warreners would go out and trap the rabbits, also known as coneys, and an example of a trap can be seen here.\u00a0 Fancy setting it off?<\/p>\n
“RABBIT FUR & HATS”<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170626-150x150.jpg\")
Owning one of the fur factories was hugely profitable.\u00a0 Working in one was dirty, smelly and dangerous.\u00a0 Machines often operated without adequate guards, and even in the Second World War a young woman lost a hand after getting it caught in a machine full of sharp knives.\u00a0 It was usually the less educated\u00a0working class who worked in them, although some women, worked from home and\u00a0were paid as “fur pullers”.\u00a0 Furs were imported into the factories as the demand and dwindling rabbit population made it difficult to keep production going.<\/p>\n
“A MULTI-ROLE FOREST”<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170627-150x150.jpg\")
Thetford Forest is a vast natural resource on our doorstep.\u00a0 Planted after WW1 to replenish the lack of timber for pit props, it has now become home to many species of flora and fauna.\u00a0 In the past three of decades it has also gained popularity as a place of leisure – cycling, walking, bird watching, etc.<\/p>\n
HARVEY ADAM ROOM<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170637-150x150.jpg\")
Harvey Adam was a very well respected Town Councillor and Chairman, and so it seems fitting an exhibition is dedicated to his memory.\u00a0 As well as displaying\u00a0Harvey’s parachute from WW2, he was in the Parachute Regiment and dropped into France, the room features many other wartime artefacts.\u00a0 From a WW1 ‘Death Plaque’ to WW2 Gas masks.\u00a0 There are also household items, such as bottles and an electric iron.<\/p>\n
STONE & IRON AGE<\/strong><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.brandonheritage.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/P4170640-150x150.jpg\")
