Adopt an artefact – everyone loves a fire engine! As we continue looking at our Adopt an Artefact scheme, run by the Friends of Horsham Museum & Art Gallery, we turn our attention to one of the larger items. In among the dozen artefacts that are available for adopting is an old fire engine - having your name alongside it would be a very different Christmas present! This horse-drawn manual fire engine cost £225.1s.0d when purchased by 548 subscribers and 60 volunteers of the Horsham Voluntary Fire Brigade in 1863 from Shand and Mason, London. http://friendsofhorshammuseum.co.uk/2025/12/07/adopt-an-artefact-everyone-loves-a-fire-engine/
