Our first birthday

Welcome to Havering Museum’s new blog!

Havering Museum is an independent museum in the heart of Romford. It tells the story of the Borough of Havering through images, text panels and objects.  You can read more about us here, find out how to get to us here, and find out when we are open here.

Check back frequently for posts from staff and volunteers about life behind-the-scenes at the Museum, or you can sign up to automatically receive e-mail updates whenever we post something by using the button on the right.
