Greenfield Valley Trust Collection
The Greenfield Valley Trust Collection developed around the agricultural buildings rescued from around Flintshire and rebuilt at Greenfield Valley. The majority of the collections are representative of the period 1850-1950. We are always actively looking for objects to be donated to the collection, but follow a strict policy (see pdf Greenfield Valley Collections Policy) and procedure in doing so. For example, only objects with specific provenance to the Greenfield Valley and its Industrial past will be considered suitable for the collection.
At present the most important object in the Greenfield Valley Trust Collection is a Combine Harvester! Made by local firm Jones Brothers of Rhosesmor, it has been ranked as one of the 10 most important combines in museum collections in the UK by the Rural Museums Network Distributed National Collection Survey (Viner 2004) and is the only known example within a museum collection. Over the past 2 years a conservation and new interpretation program have been developed in order to share the fascinating history of the Combine and the local Jones Balers company with our visitors.
