We took friends here for a day out - Much better than expected, we all came away with a very positive experience. Highlights for us were the mine tour and the school house. All the staff were fantastic and so knowledgable, you really felt as if you were stepping into someones front parlour and looking at their lives - facinating!... More

If you're interested in the Industrial Revolution and it's birth in the Black Country then you should have been here already! If you're not then you'll still have a wonderful time as you step back into a time that gave us the world as we know it today and wander through Victorian Streets seeing the museum's dedicated staff bringing the...

So much to do here whatever the weather. Allow yourself a full day so that you can see everything but don't go in the school holidays as it gets really busy. It's great to actually interact/chat with the people in situ as they are all so friendly and knowledgeable. It's obvious they enjoy what they are doing. Tip: go online... More
