Toys are us
The Toy Stories exhibit opens today with items ranging from an Edwardian carousel to bikes, models, computer games, Lego and hand made dolls.
Young visitors will be able to step back in time by riding on Gilligan’s Galloping Carousel, an authentic children’s roundabout from the Edwardian period which was popular on the streets of Castleford.
