If you or your family possess an item which you think would add to the history of Shifnal being told at the Fire Station, please talk to a member of the Group.

There are several ways that your item could be added to the Exhibition:

  • Donation – if you are happy to give the item to the Shifnal Local History Group, please bring it to the Fire Station. The Group does have a collection’s policy to ensure that items are relevant to the history of Shifnal and that it can be housed safely. We will tell you if we think the donation would be best placed in another location.
  • Copy – if the item is a photograph or a document, we can copy it, so you retain the original and we have the benefit of a photocopy.
  • Loan – more unusually, items can be loaned to the Group. Loans are accepted if we know that they will significantly add to the Exhibition.
  • Purchase – we buy items relating to Shifnal advertised through auction sites. We do not buy directly from the public at the Fire Station.
