Our 150th anniversary exhibition - The Lifeboat Story - opened at the Maltings on Staithe Street, Wells on Wednesday night.

The exhibition features photographs, paintings and memorabilia celebrating over 150 years of life-saving in the town, looks at present day volunteering with the RNLI and features a fine retrospective of Campbell MacCallum's photographs of the station. Campbell who made his name as a commercial photographer in London's swinging sixties spent over five decades photographing the boats and crew at Wells lifeboat station and his candid and sharply observed black-and-white photographs form an intimate record of life at the station.

The exhibition is open every day upstairs at the Maltings from 11am until 4pm until Tuesday 16th July and admission is free. If you visit, please also be sure to visit the Maltings' superb heritage display which has more on the town's lifeboats and history.
