METEORITE pieces which landed in the region 50 years ago will be on show for the very first time.
They will take pride of place at Hinckley and District Museum as it begins its 2015 season from tomorrow, Easter Monday.
The heritage venue, located in Lower Bond Street, will throw open its doors for the first time this year from 10am onwards.
There's also a very brief mention on the Hinckley and District Museum web site, things to see page.
Displays on Hinckley past and present, local people who fought at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), the 200th anniversary of John Nichols` history of Leicestershire and his Hinckley connections, and the Barwell Meteorite.
Anyone able to pop along and report back?
