SALTY & SAUCY TALES FROM THE SALT WORKS! | Life with Josephine

Videos showing all things nature with places I have visited (or at home) that I think are worth sharing for inspirational/relaxation purposes.

With special permission from the Heritage Centre, St Richard's House in Droitwich Spa, I take you on a journey of two halves - The Salt Museum and the Radio Communication archives and the history of the masts in Wychbold, near to Droitwich Spa.

Uncover the reasons why salt lies beneath the town of Droitwich and why women were banned from working with the men!

An extract from the Heritage Centre's website:

"Salt has often taken the limelight when it comes to telling the story of Droitwich's history, but we have also had a significant impact on the country over the years with the BBC Radio Transmitting Station at Wychbold.

The station went on air on the 6 September 1934, transmitting the National Programme on Long Wave and a Regional Programme on Medium Wave. The Droitwich signal was so strong, it was said that people struggled to receive signals from more distant stations such as Moscow, Luxembourg and Paris!

Radio sets made from 1934, until a short while after the War, were marked with 'Droitwich' on their dial.

When the Station closed in 1989 John Phillips, an employee at the station and radio enthusiast, rescued the 'obsolete' equipment from the skip and has brought it to life again through this wonderful homage to BBC radio, which opened in 1991.

Come and visit us to learn all about the era when Droitwich was "On The Dial"."

If you're in the area the Heritage Centre is a welcoming tourist information site offering all you need to know to explore even further.
