Butter Market Museum
The Butter Market located in Hall Square is an open-fronted building dating back
to the 18th or early 19th century, built to give shelter to farmers' wives on
market days whilst they were selling their dairy products, hence the name. It
stood unused for many years until a local benefactor kindly paid for very attractive
railings to be erected across the open front, thus making the building secure.
This encouraged the Town Council to start a small museum of locally made or locally
used artifacts, which have been either loaned or donated by members of the public.
The exhibits range from an early 19th century bread oven to railway memorabilia
and dairy equipment from local farms.
The exhibits can be viewed at any time during daylight hours, totally free of
charge, and wall-mounted display boards explain the origin and purpose of each
exhibit. Fresh exhibits are always welcome, so if you think you have anything
of local interest, please contact The Clerk to the Town Council on 01423-322956,
or e mail info@boroughbridge.org.uk.
