Inspired by the #BBCRadio4 series The History of the World in 100 Objects, I’m starting an occasional series on my personal blog to share some of the objects that have made their way to me over the years as a way of telling the story of my community, my family, and me.

First up: a lobster tray from a cannery that operated from 1901-46.
