Have you ever stopped to clear a path for an ambulance after hearing its horn; or imagined yourself putting out fires and saving people’s lives? Have you ever received assistance from the police?

Do you know how these emergency services have evolved over time and understand their everyday duties and routines?

Discover more through this exhibition, which gives an insight into the emergency services through history, and celebrates the upcoming National Emergency Services Day on the 17th of  September. Elmbridge Museum’s collection holds many objects  related to this theme, and we are thrilled to showcase these to a wider audience.

The display can be viewed during Walton Library’s open hours. Click here to see these on the Surrey Libraries website.
