This museum contains a wealth of interesting exhibits and offers an insight into the history of the city, the industries that people worked in, and the lives that they led. The lady on the reception desk gave us a detailed and helpful explanation of the layout of the museum, the artefacts on display had clear and concise descriptions, and the interactive elements worked well. Definitely worth a visit.

It was decorated for Christmas and looked very festive. The room guides were knowledgeable but there was also plenty of information in each room. It has a fascinating history and also a nice secluded garden with heritage roses.
