A VALE man has put on an historical exhibition in Pershore, which residents are invited to come along and share in.

Colin Perry has set up the exhibition which follows the family history of the Spiers name in Pershore and surrounding area.

The collection based in the Heritage Centre on the High Street includes many old pictures of the family and the quality baskets they are known for making.

He said: "I got the idea from a letter I found informing my father that he had been released from his apprenticeship at Spiers and just decided to dig a little deeper.

"I would invite anyone with a knowledge or interest in Pershore to come along and take a look."

The display is open Wednesday to Friday from 10am to 3.30pm and on Saturday mornings.
