Description
Last chance to visit an old fashioned military museum before being moved to its new home in the centre of Bury in 2008.
The museum has a wonderful collection illustrating the history of the regiment from its establishment in 1688 to its amalgamation in 1968. The collection has something for everyone with paintings, medals, uniforms and memorabilia of the soldiers' experiences whilst they served with the regiment.
