Five Arches Magazine

The Radstock, Midsomer Norton and District Museum Society was 
founded in 1985 to preserve the social and industrial heritage of the 
communities of the Somerset Coalfield. The first issue of 'Five Arches', 
the Journal of the Society, appeared in 1986. The Society's Collection 
was first put on permanent display at Barton Meade, Haydon, in 1989.

In 1996 the old Radstock Market Hall was acquired and three years later, 
on July10th 1999, Radstock Museum opened its doors and became the 
new home of The Society's Collection.

Run by a team of dedicated volunteers who have searched history books, 
archives and memories of local people, the Museum has been described 
as the jewel in the West Country's crown.

Five Arches is the History Journal of the Radstock, Midsomer Norton
& District Museum Society.
