The Museum's farming exhibitions started with Lyme's Disapperaing Farmland and progressed onto Farming in the Lym Valley. The preparation for this exhibition was so successful that it was taken on tour to Uplyme Village Hall, Lyme Regis Baptist Hall and Thomas Witty House in Axminster.

The old photos shown below capture a flavour of the nostalgic farming exhibition compiled by Ken Gollop and Graham Davies.

It provided a fascinating glimpse of agricultural life and the history of the farms in and around Uplyme over the last 150 years in photographs, maps, documents and words.

It successfully captured memories before they were lost for ever. There was also a superb photographic record of the changing seasonal activities at Shapwick Grange farm in 2007
