This award-winning museum is a compelling mix of interactive displays, AV shows and museum collections including working textile machinery housed in an atmospheric historic mill building.

We hold books, archives, photographs and objects which provide information on the lives of the workers, working conditions in the mills, the manufacturing process and the type of products that were made – giving you a real sense of your ancestor’s working life.

Our website has a Jute Genealogy Fact Sheet that can be downloaded.
