By its very nature the Wolferton Museum collection does not attract the crowds that live-steam exhibits attract.
On Sunday, December 28th, viewers watching the BBC 'Royal Heritage1 series, saw Her Majesty the Queen enjoying showing some of her collection to her private visitors at Windsor Castle,

! imagine that private visitors to Sandringham House are similarly entertained, presumably without objections from the Parish Council. Are not Mr and Mrs Eric Walker free to do the same without objection from the Parish Council, parishioners, and the Royal Estate?

Disgraceful

During the same 'Royal Heritage' TV film the Duke of Edinburgh told of his wish to maintain the Royal Estates for future generations so that they might "Get the same satisfaction from a well managed and viable enterprise".

I have no doubt that had the Royal Estate had the foresight to retain the use of the Royal Waiting Rooms at Wolferton Station, they would have been turned into tourist attractions, and that visitors to Sandringham House & Gardens

would have been encouraged to visit the Royal Station buildings, filled, no doubt, with similar exhibits to those found in the present station museum.

I venture to suggest that had this museum been opened by the Royal Estate that there would not have been a squeak of an objection, either from Sandringham Council or from Wolferton residents.
That Sandringham Estate, and by definition, Her Majesty, should be associated with Sandringham Parish Council's petty and distorted objections is disgraceful and does nothing for the image of Monarchy.
Not content with cornering a large proportion of tourists to the area, with all their attendant traffic hazards, and the disturbance of the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood, the Estate is seeking to deny a small, but unique venture, the right to flourish.
That such a Royal Goliath should be seen to oppose such a small David, seems to me to be in danger of bringing both the Queen and the Royal Estate into some disrepute with all fair minded people.
