The secrets of the Keswick museum wars

Secret Cumbria

Available for over a year

When rival 18th Century Lakeland museums jockey to be the top dog, almost anything goes! When self-styled 'Admiral' Crosthwaite opened his museum, he didn't bank on local rough diamond Thomas Hutton opening his museum across the street. Andrew Carter tells the funny story of a decades long grudge match, that became the talk of the town, that was hoping to cash in on the beginning of the tourist boom.
