The Friends of Narberth Museum are presenting a fascinating exhibition to coincide with the commemorations across the United Kingdom to mark the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. A grant of £2,300 from Awards for all Wales has allowed members of the Friends to research people, places and events in West Wales which have specific relevance to both the slave trade itself, and repercussions of the Act which led to the later emancipation of slaves in 1833 - and the Victorians' ensuing interest in their welfare. Information sheets and souvenir cards and stickers have been provided, and children in local schools will be studying copies of documents and diaries relevant to the Narberth area, and will be designing their own commemorative plates, inspired by 19th century pottery artefacts on loan to the Museum Bookshop in Market Street. The exhibition will be open from Wednesday to Friday, March 28 to 30, and events will include a talk by Margaret Norcross on 'The Underground Railroad - slavery and quilting,' a children's writing workshop, and a Deep South supper with music. Chris Stephens, chairman of the Friends, who is co- ordinating the project, is delighted that so much interest has already been generated nationally in Narberth's contribution and involvement in this historic commemoration. "Without this generous funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, it would not have been possible for such a small group to allocate time, expertise and resources into preparing for this exhibition," he said.
