Lots to see in a small space.

Had a shortish look round while we were in town for the Straw Bear Festival. A lot of local history to see. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would like to go back when we have more time to browse.

OK for museum freaks

What can I say about Whittlesey (but I am biased) half the size of a English cemetery and twice as dead. For fenland town history buffs only.

An excellent little museum

Although a small town museum, it is full of history and interesting local items. We were quite taken up not only with the museum itself but the commitment and dedication of the people that run it. Well done and thank you very much for keeping...More
