About this event

Experience the Museum come to life as a volunteer panel of retired printers and compositors demonstrate our collection in action.

From the Linotype composing machine to the Wharfdale printing press to the Shaw Pen Ruling machine, witness the incredibly complex technologies that were used for centuries before our modern digital printers.

Last Thursday of the month at 12:00, approx 1 hr.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
