Turn old library site into town's museum
HIGH Wycombe needs and deserves a better and bigger museum, and the old library in Queen Victoria Road is just the ideal place.
It's central and the majority of the people know where it is, rather than the old and small museum in Priory Avenue.
Hundreds of artefacts, including many from the Roman Villa on The Rye and also from the furniture manufacturing industry which made this lovely old town famous all over the world, are sadly now nearly gone forever.
Most of these items are currently on display at the County Museum in Aylesbury, but should rightly be on display in High Wycombe where they were found. What a lovely start for the re-building of a new town centre in High Wycombe.

It needs to remain in the hands of the town not become another pub

I must agree that this a great idea.
The High Street may well be earmarked for a cafe culture. This doesn't mean that there should be no other forms of culture available.

A pub. That would be great. Although a bit near the filth station. Maybe not a pub.
How about another McDonalds.

What a brilliant idea,but I hope that the WDC don't get the idea that they will be able to dispose of the present museum premises and gardens. These in themselves are a valuable asset for Wycombe.[quote]quote[/quote] [quote]quote[/quote]

Could even be handed over to the Town Council - when we get one

Yeh, give it to the town council. It costs a bomb to run.
