Local History Month at Market Rasen Library

Join the library and help celebrate Local History Month with an exciting range of events for all ages to enjoy.

One of the very first cars seen on the roads in Lincolnshire.

Things get off to a roaring start on Tuesday May 6 when Talking History marks the 90th anniversary of the Driving Test looking at some of the funnier events and stories about motorists and their cars from our area which have featured in the historical archives of the Market Rasen Mail. 

A display of public photos and stories about your 1st cars complements this, as well as articles on the first car owners in Lincolnshire and the first person fined for speeding, 129 years ago!

Throughout May, we are hosting a fantastic display by Duckworth Motor Group documenting their presence in the town and how they have grown to be one of the most important independent car retailers in the county.

On the morning of Saturday May 10, the cars are the stars when members of the Lincolnshire Automobile Club have a selection of their classic cars on display in the library car park from 10.00am until 1.00pm. 

Library manager Kay Turnbull said: "Come along and help them celebrate their cars and passion for all things motoring. They will be on hand and happy to help anyone who shares in their joy of classic vehicles.

"We are also very grateful to Duckworth's for donating a LEGO icon Classic Defender 90 kit for our LEGO Challenge club."

The LEGO Challenge meets on the last Friday of every month from 1.30pm to 2.30pm. All are welcome.
