Welcome to The Living Memory Historical Association

Step into a journey of recent history at our unique museum located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Experience the past come to life as we showcase the memories that shape our future.

In November 2024, The Cotswold District Council, our landlords, made the decision to sell the Hospital Cottages where the civilian section of the exhibition was housed.  The military and medical section in the Hospital Air Raid Shelter would remain.  At the present moment we are trying to locate premises near to the shelter to re-establish the full exhibition.

The majority of the artefacts from the cottages are in store, provided by the CDC and in the shelter. As a result there is likely to be a delay in opening the exhibition as usual in May.  However it may be possible if we can find further storage to reorganise the shelter to open that section of the exhibition on or near the first Saturday in May.

This could not have happened at a worse time, with the 80^th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War being upon us. We have already been called upon to provide costumes and artefacts for a stage play and other events making the retrieval from storage complicated. As soon as we have more definite news, it will be posted.
