This is a museum of everyday life with recreated, authentic Victorian and Edwardian streets. Everything is here in fine detail, not only in the street layouts but also in the interiors of individual homes. This is life as it was lived over the last 400 years. Notice the total lack of modern conveniences and also how did they manage to survive? Visitors can also see the cell where Dick Turpin was held before his execution. There is a shop and a period tea room in the museum. Admission: adults GBP6; concessions GBP3.50; family GBP16.
