The Original Factory Shop in Bridge Road, Downham West, has adopted this project as their Charity of the Year in their company’s ‘Make A Difference’ campaign for 2012.
Our grateful thanks to management and staff.
Please support them.
Approached from the west across wide acres of flat Fenland, Downham Market lies ahead on the first high ground.
Here our prehistoric ancestors had dry land, safe from flooding, on which to build their homes, raise their cattle and crops, and still enjoy the wealth of fish, eels and wildfowl from the fens.
Through exhibitions and displays the Heritage Centre tells the story of the area and its people through the ages.
The Heritage Centre is located in the Town Hall in the heart of Downham Market, next to the market place.
