THERE is still time to take a peek at Radcliffe Youth Club's "Opening the Doors" exhibition.

Designed to encourage youngsters to get involved in museums and galleries, the exhibition at Bury Museum in Moss Street probes into fragments of Radcliffe's past and pieces of the town's present.

Members of the youth club were allowed to delve into the Bury Museum's archive collection, select items they felt gave an insight into the history of Radcliffe and contrast them with modern-day items they brought in themselves.

Leanne Bird (13) chose some old fashioned clogs and provided her Kermit the Frog doll which she dressed in the christening gown her grandmother made for her.

"I've had Kermit since being a baby and wouldn't go anywhere without him," she said.

Natalie Fisher (15) donated her lucky Nike trainer as an example of a 21st century item.

"I wore it in a football match and scored half way into the game," she said.

Jodie Pilling (15) went thousands of years back into the past and chose a Stone Age axe head found in Radcliffe.

And Lee Pilling (16) picked out an old bottle of Riley's Sparkling Grapefruit Crush which was manufactured in East Street. "I found it interesting because there are now very few glass bottles like this. Very few products are made in Radcliffe nowadays," he said.

The exhibition runs until July 6 and also boasts a huge map of Radcliffe town centre, linked by string to framed drawings of sites in the town, ranging from the clock tower in The Piazza to McDonald's Restaurant.
