In August 1948, Mrs Smith was visiting friends some counties over when they went to see this striking building - Loughborough Carillion. With diary entries and original photo albums to leaf through, it's hard not to be moved by the sentimental details of Mrs Smith's life.

Mrs Smith's Cottage garden has been alive with bees in this sunshine 🐝
Here in what she called her 'flower garden' she dedicated her time to making sure there was something in bloom all year round! She wrote extensively in her diaries of what she planted, where and when, so today we're able to keep her garden growing just how she would have liked it.
