I think it would be wonderful to have a museum in Marple. Marple is steeped in history but sadly most people are unaware of the significance of Judge Bradshaw, Oldknow, The Andrews family , Carver Family and Arkwright to name just a few. I have a cannon ball from the grounds of Marple Hall (still not sent picture in as promised) and also a plate celebrating St Paul's church in Compstall being consecrated May 23rd 1841. I would happly donate them to the museum. I also work at the Memorial park and they have quite a lot of memorabilia which has been packed away. I am sure if there was a museum the council would consider donating, much better than the items being stored. It would be great if the Navigation Pub became vacant and instead of it being turned into a restaurant like the Robin Hood and the Wrights Arms it could be self supporting as bed and breakfast incorporating the museum
