点评:The Ware museum is located towards the end of the High Street, just under half a mile on foot from the station.
Ware was a small Roman settlement on Ermine Street, which ran from London to York.
There is a wide range of exhibits on view. Ware’s industries, both past and present, are well featured.
Brick making, maltings and pharmaceuticals being the most prominent.
The local firm Allen & Hanbury was a major employer. This firm was absorbed by Glaxo in the late Fifties and went on to produce well known medications such as Ventolin and Zantac.
The town is situated on the River Lea and in the early 17th century, the New River was created to provide London with fresh water.
This ran from Ware to Stoke Newington.
I enjoyed the history of the late 16th century Great Bed of Ware.
This is now housed in the Victoria & Albert museum in London, although between 2012-2013, it was resident in the Ware museum.
I also liked the room featuring both World Wars, especially the WWII timeline.
The volunteers who run the museum are both enthusiastic and helpful.
Admission is free. The museum is closed on Monday, Thursday and Friday.
翻译:韦尔博物馆位于高街尽头,距离车站步行不到半英里。
韦尔曾是位于厄尔米恩街上的一个小型罗马定居点,这条街从伦敦延伸至约克。
博物馆展出了各种各样的展品,全面展现了韦尔过去和现在的产业。
其中最突出的是制砖、麦芽制造和制药业。
当地的艾伦和汉伯里公司是当地的主要雇主。这家公司在20世纪50年代末被葛兰素史克公司收购,并继续生产万托林和善胃得等知名药物。
该镇位于利河畔,17世纪初,新河被开凿,为伦敦提供淡水。
这条河从韦尔流经斯托克纽因顿。
我很喜欢16世纪末韦尔河床的历史。
这件作品现藏于伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆,但在2012年至2013年间,它曾被收藏于韦尔博物馆。
我也很喜欢那个展示两次世界大战的展厅,尤其是二战时间线。
博物馆的志愿者们热情又乐于助人。
免费入场。博物馆周一、周四和周五闭馆。
