Alnwick Through the Lens: Bailiffgate Museum exhibition captures the town’s past, present, and future

Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery are launching a new interactive exhibition capturing Alnwick’s past, present and future.

Alnwick Through the Lens is a collaboration between Alnwick Civic Society, Alnwick Camera Club and Bailiffgate, the exhibition will be on show between April 1 and May 11.

This exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Civic Society in 2024. The aim was to capture the town as it is today for future generations to look back on including its historical buildings, new developments, and repurposing of existing buildings.

Bailiffgate has searched its archives and added photographs of the town landscape from different periods of history.

Information boards and maps will give visitors the chance to track changes to the town and its surroundings, and development of photographic equipment will be shown through displays from the museums collection.
