Robert McGuin & Bernard McGuin - Tolson Museum Update

Thank you to 2,152 local residents who have signed this petition to save Tolson Museum from Closure. Please continue to share this petition with friends and family on social media  www.change.org/p/save-tolson-museum-huddersfield .

We are against Kirklees Council plans to close Tolson Museum. The Council after 10 years of Tolson Museum being earmarked for closure still have no future plans for the building and for the local community. Currently it seems under their plans when the building closes they will leave the building to wrack and ruin.  Kirklees Council closed Huddersfield Library and there idea is to have a Museum in the former Huddersfield Library.

Leigh Tolson gifted Ravensknowle Hall to Huddersfield over 100 years ago in memory of his 2 nephews, brothers Robert Tolson & James Tolson, who were killed in First World War.

The ever popular Monday activities at Tolson Museum has moved due to repair work needed, to the United Reform Church in Moldgreen. 

As a Friend of Tolson & Ravensknowle Museum member, I attended the 99th Ravensknowle Gala with Bernard McGuin and handed out  Gala programmes. Bernard & Linda also  chose the Gala King and Queen. Ravensknowle Gala is always well attended with roughly over 5,000 people attend the annual event and it was great to see Tolson Museum so busy. Thank you to the dedicated volunteers who without them the Gala event could not, please visit www.ravensknowlegala.org.uk if you would like more information. 

P.S Time is running out to save Tolson Museum from closure.

Thank You
Local Campaigners Robert McGuin & Bernard McGuin
