Bridgnorth Historical Society was formed on February 8, 1934 by Mr. J.T. Foxall to “advance the education of the public in all matters of historic or allied nature, in particular those arising in Bridgnorth and within the county of Shropshire”.
As part of an agreement when it was founded, Bridgnorth Historical Society was tasked with running the town's museum, which it has done successfully for the last 89 years.
Andrew Cooper, from the society who manages the Northgate Museum in Bridgnorth, said last year, they pulled in around 2,000 visitors.
