This museum showcases the history and heritage of Whittlesey and the surrounding Fens area, with exhibits on archaeology, social history, and the local fenland landscape. The museum is housed in a 19th-century building and features a collection of artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays that tell the story of the region's past, including its role in the English Civil War and its significance as a major producer of fenland crops. Visitors can explore recreated Victorian streets, a 1940s-style kitchen, and a gallery dedicated to the history of Whittlesey's iconic brickmaking industry.
A delightful museum to visit with very knowledgeable guides. It's filled with so much of the social history of Whittlesey you feel you know it well even after a days visit. I would definitely recommend allowing plenty of time to look at everything, including the newspaper scrap books, time will fly while you're there.
Small local museum. Very interesting. Volunteers needed. Always something new on display. If anyone needs to know about people or places from the past we are happy to do research for you. Volunteer open day Sunday 17th of April. Come and join us
