Christmas greetings

 

The City of Canada Bay Heritage Society wishes all our members and readers a very Happy Christmas and New Year. We thank everyone who has supported the City of Canada Bay Heritage Society, volunteered at the Museum and at the open days at the Yaralla Estate and Rivendell.

The work the Society does to; promote, advocate for, and preserve heritage in the City of Canada Bay; operate the Museum; foster community involvement through the monthly speakers; engage in community events such as the Seniors festival and host community groups and schools at the Museum, would not be possible without the dedication of a small hardworking group of volunteers.

If you would like to contribute to the Society by volunteering at the Museum, the open days at Yaralla and Rivendell or by writing for our newsletter, please email heritage@canadabayheritage.asn.au. We would love to hear from you.

The Museum will be closed from Monday 16th December and reopen Saturday 1st March, 2025. There is extended closure this year so the interior of the Museum can be painted in January.

Happy Christmas

Sally Jerapetritis

Secretary

  • And so to bed . . .

    In better quality late Victorian and Edwardian bedrooms, grand old wardrobes and dressing tables were flanked by fancy chairs and perhaps a small side table. At each side of the double bed would be small matching cabinets. Very important for those times was a place to hide the chamberpot. The essential toilet set of jug…
