What a staple gem of a place still going in Huddersfield. Educational and full of local history this museum is pretty much unchanged in 40 years or longer but who cares because it's still going and it is full of useful items of interest over the years. If you haven't been for a long while or never been at all then I would urge you to visit. It's FREE as well. Also we had two great cups of coffee, which were better than most cafe to be fair st very reasonable rate. Limited bites only. Snackie stuff.

This was a brilliant museum to visit, covering a wide scope with its artefacts! There is a military section including memorials to soldiers and toy battleships with sandbags in the background, leading into the Victoria section. This demonstrates the different entertainment shows and clothing from their times, alongside information about how different schooling truly was then! Artefacts of bottles, plates and cups are shown in a separate room giving more insight into living for people. A transport section seems to be upstairs with various bikes including a pink, yellow and blue one, alongside a couple of tractors. I really liked the trains part with all the different station signs and model trains, a tram is even included in the museum that can actually be walked right across! Later on, there is more general amenities from past eras, old industrial equipment and even a countryside with housing depiction of what the area used to be like.

Great museum about local history in west Yorkshire. It hasn't changed I years and that's the way it should be. I loved visiting as a kid and I have come back several times in the last few years. Fantastic free museum with a great cafe and shop. Dont ever change.
