Episode 1: #SaveMow?
Steven Franklin and his guests discuss the important questions surrounding Mow, Egham Museum’s golden cockerel. Where did he come from? Why is he part of Egham Museum’s collection? Does he count as history? What does he tell us about people’s attitudes to their local past? And why he’s never been on permanent display? Buckle yourselves in as we introduce you to life at Egham Museum and begin to learn more about the oddities that lie within their collection.
Featuring Sarah Corn, Curator at Egham Museum, Amy Stone, Assistant Curator, and professional archaeologist and museum trustee, Heather Knight. Bring on the Oddity!

In this episode, the conversation is inspired by MC662, a large golden cockerel which was removed from the inn sign in 1994 following the sale of Barley Mow Public House, Englefield Green. It was then donated to the Egham Museum by the former landlord and landlady the following year.
