THAT’S a nice way to attract visitors to Malton, by closing the 80-year-old museum, on top of the farmer’s livestock market; what next?

What upsets me is that the Lottery good causes fund will support pig farmers in Peru, etc, but won’t support a grand, informative and most interesting, important part of Malton’s heritage in order to survive.

Never was the old adage “money is the root of all evil” more evident and true.
