Explore Nottinghamshire’s industrial heritage through five galleries of working engines, historic machinery and local industry exhibits.
The Nottingham Industrial History Museum explores Nottinghamshire’s industrial heritage from the Industrial Revolution to the early 20th century. Its five galleries cover the railway, bicycle, motorcycle, lace, telecommunications, pharmaceutical and tobacco industries, with exhibits connected to famous names including Raleigh, Brough, Players, Boots, Humber and Reader.
Visitors can also see working steam and diesel engines, a Victorian kitchen, a blacksmith’s forge and a woodworking shop.
The museum is run by volunteers, who organise events and help bring the collection to life. It is open every weekend.
