An exhibition of objects, sounds and songs from the people of Allenheads and the wider High Forest Area, compiled by ACA through donations loaded with personal histories and narratives.

“Through the objects, songs and sounds of the place and the people there –it (Trading Post) invites a subjective enquiry suffused with mystery and wonder... reflective of the multifarious times, perspectives and experiences of the High Forest area.” (Iris Aspinall Priest)
