Visit to the Border Library
Venue: The Old Gaol, Hexham, Northumberland
The Border Library, located in the Old Gaol, houses the Butler Trust
Collection. This is a private collection put together over many years by
Bill Butler, once Director of the Northumbria Tourist Board. Bill wanted
the collection to be used and enjoyed by as many people as possible, and
set up the Butler Trust. The Collection is made up of books, music scores,
photographs and other sources of information about the history, culture and
music of the Borders area. It is particularly strong in Northumbrian pipe
music and ballads.
