I attended a meeting of the END Technical Working Group at the National Museum Collection Centre in Nantgarw on Thursday 27th June 2013 to talk about what we’re doing in SENESCHAL. The END group consists of members from a number of key Welsh cultural heritage organisations:
- Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW)
- CADW – The Welsh Government’s historic environment service
- Clwyd-Powys archaeological trust
- Dyfed archaeological trust
- Gwynedd archaeological trust
- Glamorgan-Gwent archaeological trust
- National Museum of Wales
Following the meeting there was an opportunity for an extremely interesting quick supervised ‘tour’ of some of the larger artefacts held in storage at the collections centre – buses, train carriages, a lifeboat, even a rescue helicopter! For me the real stand out items were the old motorbikes, and some classic Gilbern sports cars – made in Pontypridd in the 1960s.
