The official opening took place at St. Mary's church last Friday 11th September. The event was attended, amongst others, by Micheal Wilkinson son of Wombwell veteran, George Wilkinson, Georges's story was featured in the exhibition & the teaching pack the Wombwell Heritage Group have created. Mr Wilkinson traveled all the way from Kings Lynn to be there for the launch and gave a heartfelt speech about his father.
