Can anyone tell me the website of Kegworth Museum. I have been trying for the last hour to find it. I had it because my grandmother came from Kegworth but I didn't save it (silly) and can't remember the name . I have tried all variations. Can anyone help. MAY

Hello John, Tried that thanks but got a big notice up that said FORBIDDEN and also You do not have permission to access the requested file. May We are talking about Kegworth Museum at Leicestershire ?

Hello John, I've done all that and found what you said but it still doesn't give the website. It's a lovely site with old pictures on. Very interesting but can't remember the website. MAY

Thanks for your help John, but I tried that and got the FORBIDDEN notice again. I will try somewhere else. Had already been on the Leicester museums one. That only gives you details about the opening times etc. I wanted to get to their website. It's a really lovely site. Pictures of old Kegworth and the lace factory, message board, poetry, really nice. I will keep trying . If I don't find it I will ring them on Sunday when they open and ask them. Thank you again for trying John May
