点评:The Harborough museum is housed in the centre of Market Harborough in the Symington Building which is also home to the town’s library.
It is half a mile on foot from the railway station.
Whilst the museum is quite small, the main attraction is the Hallaton Treasure unearthed in 2000.
This comprised of around 5000 Roman coins plus a Roman army helmet found in Hallaton which is around nine miles north east of Market Harborough.
Local firm Symingtons is well portrayed in the museum. Well known for corset making including the Liberty Bodice, it also later produced soup and was a big industry in the town.
I enjoyed the numerous artefacts from the old days of the town, including toys plus footwear created by local shoe and boot maker Falkner.
Admission is free and the museum is closed on Sunday and Monday.
翻译:哈伯勒博物馆位于马基特哈伯勒镇中心的西明顿大楼内,该楼同时也是镇上图书馆的所在地。
从火车站步行至此仅需半英里。
虽然博物馆规模不大,但最吸引人的展品则是2000年在哈勒顿发掘出的“哈勒顿宝藏”。
这些宝藏包括约5000枚罗马硬币,以及一顶在哈勒顿发现的罗马军盔;哈勒顿位于马基特哈伯勒东北方向约九英里处。
当地的西明顿公司在博物馆中也有详细展示。这家工厂以制作束腰衣而闻名,其中包括著名的“Liberty Bodice”;后来它还开始生产汤料,成为镇上的重要产业。
我很喜欢馆内展出的众多旧时物品,包括玩具,以及由当地鞋靴制造商Falkner制作的鞋类。
参观免费,博物馆于周日和周一闭馆。
