FAMILY heirlooms and equipment belonging to writer and vet Alf Wright have found a safe haven in a storage museum.
Thousands of artefacts owned by and loaned to The World of James Herriot, in Thirsk, have been moved from the attraction's cellars to a new store in Northallerton.
With grant aid from the Museum's Council, Hambleton District Council has converted part of its Darlington Road depot to house more than 3,000 pieces.
Centre manager Sue Dalton said: "We have a vast collection of veterinary equipment - one which is growing all the time - and it is vital they are kept in the correct conditions
"We now have a purpose-built store with environmentally-controlled conditions.
"All the artefacts are stored in archive quality boxes, ensuring that they will survive for future generations to enjoy and learn from."
The centre's volunteers have helped move the collection to its new home and are now cleaning and recataloguing them. To help, call Margaret Tipton, on (01845) 524234.
