Our Sporting Life: Sporting Heroes
21 March 2011 – 09 September 2012
The Coalbrookdale Gallery
Bringing the Museum’s nationally designated archives together with modern material, this exhibition celebrates Shropshire’s sporting heroes, from England footballer Billy Wright and Captain Matthew Webb, to modern heroes including boxing legend Richie Woodhall and England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Our Sporting Life: Sporting Heroes presents a new interpretation of our sporting life and you can discover photographs and prints telling the story of local football, cricket and quoits teams, along with rowing clubs and coracle racing.
You can contribute your own memories and family items, photographs and memorabilia to the
exhibition, which means it constantly evolves and develops over the course of a year.
The fascinating exhibition is open 10am - 5pm, Monday to Friday in the Coalbrookdale Gallery and admission is free.
Our Sporting Life: Sporting Heroes is part of our exciting year round programme of activities ‘Science, Sport, Life’ - part of the official London 2012 Our Sporting Life programme and the national Stories of the World project.
The exhibition is supported by MLA.
