Thank you

We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all the trusts and foundations that have helped us in the past, and are providing support now and into the future.

With their help, here are just a few of the things we’ve been able to achieve:

● Creating new displays and galleries to tell the story of the Luddite uprising.

● Producing a multi award-winning interactive educational film, Breaking the Frame.

● Funding a unique Framework Knitting Apprenticeship to help preserve framework knitting skills into the future.

● Embarking on a Museum Resilience Project to help our museum improve and maximise its resources so we can become more self-sufficient.

● Offering a sponsored work placement for a student to produce a suite of new promotional and digital marketing materials.

● Creating new educational resources linked to Key Stages 1 and 2 of the National Curriculum, for the benefit of local schools.

● Paying for essential repairs and maintenance to our historic buildings.

My sister and I loved this museum. Especially the guided tours explaining how the machines work and the working and living conditions of the frame knitters at the time. Even got the chance to take a look at Queen Victoria’s stockings in the former methodist church across the cottages. Excellent museum! Very entertaining and interesting! Lovely to see such a local and ordinary history preserved

Excellent Museum!

Terrific Museum

Second visit to this fascinating museum, a veritable storehouse of social history, staffed by knowledgeable, enthusiastic folk. Some steps may prove difficult for the elderly or infirm but there’s plenty to appreciate at ground level.
