This is the Wisbech & Fenland Museum in Wisbech in the Isle of Ely. It is one of the oldest purpose-built museums in Britain. It was founded in 1835 and moved to its present then-new building in 1847. While the focus of the museum’s collection is the local history of #Wisbech and the surrounding #Fens, it does contain one item of national or even international significance, the original manuscript of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. #IsleOfEly #Cambridgeshire #dwprovincialbritain
