#1 of our 20 star objects - The Spinning Jenny


Not only do we want to share with you the treasures hidden deep within our store, we’d also like to show you our '20 star objects' - these are going to give you a mini virtual tour of the Museums gallery, as they will be objects that are permanently on display.
So, that being said our first choice is one of the first objects you're faced with as you enter the Museum. Those who have visited Trowbridge Museum would have no doubly seen it & remember it - mainly due to its large stature - it is, of course, our Spinning Jenny.
