We were looking for places that were dog-friendly and we found this little gem! The lady who greeted us was absolutely lovely and gave us information on the history of the building. The place was packed full of history and was very enjoyable. And the fact that we could bring our lovely large dog inside was great! We would definitely visit again in future to support such a wonderful place.

Greeted by a very friendly man.Wonderful few hours exploring Bygones today..could have stayed much longer but had to head home. Brilliant that we could take our dog. Wonderful cup of tea and cake served by a very friendly lady.

Met the owner very friendly and enthusiastic, we took our parents who greatly enjoyed it. I'm nearly 50 & recognised things & appreciated how things had improved for my generation. The cafe had a good choice of cakes and biscuits. The cafe staff were helpful and friendly too. The trenches was a experience and insightful, just wish that awful time had never happened!

We really enjoyed all aspects of our visit. There were 'rooms' of a house to visit first, then the shops in the recreated street, then the railway and war areas. We also used the on site cafe and gift shop which were authentic also. You really need time to examine all the many objects in each display to get the 'full' experience. The only negative we could come up with was, there was only one toilet, luckily we visited when the museum was almost empty. We parked on a nearby street so did not have to worry about car park charges. Would recommend a visit.

Highly recommended. Full of authentic Victorian content this place is a treasure trove of artefacts that feed the imagination. It isn't very difficult here to be enlightened to a bygone world, and what better way to contextualise today's world. Worth the entry fee twice over.

This is well worth a visit for old and young alike. For those of Senior years it presents with many memories of past products, tools, equipment and in some cases, life style. For some it will also still evoke memories of the war time era and perhaps for many more, a couple of decades after WW2. For the young, it is a learning opportunity in many respects to see products and past life style. Well done to the proprietors for providing such a comprehensive attraction.

Nothing much has changed since i last visited except for the on way system which actually improves it. Nice to look in shops and see brands which are still going . Had tea and cake in the cafe which was nice and good value

I really feel compelled to write a review of this museum as it’s amazing!! Crammed full of interesting, authentic items, room and street scenes. There is so much to look at but it’s displayed so well and really makes you feel immersed. I really wish we lived closer as it’s the sort of place you could visit multiple times without getting bored. Friendly staff and cafe looked good too. It really is very unique and I would thoroughly recommend visiting.

We went here on a dull & chilly afternoon to pass the time, and was pleasantly surprised. It’s not a very big place, but it’s stuffed full of interesting things which brought back lots of memories from the past. Very well laid out with a street of old shops and a full size train!! It’s family run, and the people were very pleasant. Also has a cafe and a little gift shop. Great for an hour or two on a rainy day!

We were in the area last year and didn’t have time to visit so this year I was determined that I visited. I’m glad I did. What a great place of history and splendidly done. Lovely man at the entrance who explained things to us. Would definitely recommend and very reasonably priced.
