The opening and re-opening of Southwold Museum

In 1933, the official opening of the museum took place under the auspices of the Suffolk Naturalists' Society at a General Meeting in the grounds of Saint Felix School.

The ceremony was conducted by the Mayor, Mr E. Pipe. On the left are Mr and Mrs Goddard who donated the building. [P410]
