Current exhibition

THE WANDERING WEY

This exhibition focuses on the historical changes evident in our section of the Wey from Sutton Green to the M25. It covers the original development of the Navigation by Richard Weston of Sutton Place. The natural changes including the formation of meanders and eventually Ox Bow lakes of which there are several examples locally. The man-made changes including the original development of the navigation, subsequent improvement of flood management and the building of Broadmead Cut in the 30s. The moat at Old Woking Palace and the drainage around Newark Priory are also covered. We show the common knots used by barge users and invite visitors to try out some of the knots themselves. Rope and a convenient post are provided!. We also have a DIY barge model and would like to try and encourage any young visitors to make up a barge from the kit available and then bring it back for inclusion in the exhibition.

Finally, we cover changes in wildlife on the Wey including the impact of invasive, non-native species such as Signal Crayfish and Floating Pennywort. The taxidermy birds are to show people, close up, some of the birds which might be seen along the Wey.
