Warming Winter: A history of heating

info@forthstimeline.net (Forthstimeline) — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 11:37:00 +0000

Last winter, as we shivered in icy northern winds and ploughed through snow, the main thought on everyone’s mind was how to stay warm. This winter why not come and see how people stayed warm in the past. With an array of “heating solutions” from across the ages Callendar House’s Warming Winter exhibition explores the area’s contribution to the history of heating.

From beautifully designed cast iron fire surrounds to space age electric heaters, this area has kept people warm for many generations with stylish, practical, and some impractical, stove, fireplace and heater designs. The exhibition will look at the reasons behind the designs, different types of heaters and the future of home heating.

Set across two rooms in the newly refurbished exhibition space in Callendar House this exhibition is sure to surprise and intrigue all minds, young and old.

Warming Winter: A history of heating runs in the 2^nd Floor Galleries, Callendar House, Callendar Park, Falkirk from 15^th January – 15^th May 2010. Admission is free.

Opening Hours: Mon - Sat 10am -5pm (From April 3^rd 2011 the house will also be open on Sundays from 2pm - 5pm).
