The Locksmith's House celebrates the efforts of the small family run lock making businesses which thrived over a century ago. Working from the back yards of their own houses, hundreds of small family businesses evolved. At the moment the Locksmith's House is only open to the public on special open days, for special events or for pre-arranged group visits. The Locksmith's House also opens for pre-arranged school visits.
Love this place, nice to see it opening a little more regularly. Only small but packed with local history. Staff are always attentive and happy to talk about the place. Sometimes it is free to visit, other times you are meant to buy tickets in advance.
Often we were told and advised to go to this museum, finally we found the time, not a bit sorry for the time spent, because it was a fascinating tour, though not long.
Locksmith's Forge Experience 11/06/22 Had a bostin time with Andy & David on Saturday, bashing metal at the museum. Great day out, good chat and butties, but just a great hands on forging, learning experience. All guys who call themselves Black Countrymen, should come to this branch of the Black Country Museum and tune in to the skills our relatives and local industry was built on.
Superb little museum. Part of (but not attached to) the Black Country Living Museum, it is a fascinating place to take children and adults who are interested in seeing a snippet of Victorian England.
This is a fantastic gem in Willenhall! Great volunteers who bring history to life. Please support this local history museum by going to the events.
This lock museum was a family run business you can look around inside the family house also the workshop which is interesting to see how the locks where made.
