Nelson & Norfolk Exhibition at Norwich Castle Museum.

[Naharaht]

The Castle Museum in Norwich is hosting a Nelson exhibition until 1st October 2017 featuring, amongst other things, the ensign from teh French 74 Le Genereux, which escaped at the Battle of the Nile, the musket ball, which killed Nelson and one of his undress uniform coats. If you are in the area, you may like to pay it a visit.

Here are a few photographs I took. I shall put more into an album on my Profile page.

What a super exhibition Dave.
I love your addition to the bust of our Nel. I must do the same to my copy of the bust. I also like the way they have made it stand out with the blue velvet background.
It has given me an idea for presenting my copy in a more fitting way.
