Pickford's House Museum

The House
You can see the ground floor dining room, drawing room and morning room as they might have been in Joseph Pickford's time. A Georgian bedroom and dressing room have been recreated on the first floor, while on the top floor there is a servant's bedroom complete with straw mattress.

The kitchen and laundry have been reconstructed, together with a cellar, pantry and housekeeper's cupboard, so that visitors can get an idea of what life was like for the servants working below stairs in Georgian times. One of the cellars is equipped as an air-raid shelter of the 1940s.

The upper floors feature displays of toy theatres, and several rooms showing some of the Museum's excellent collection of historic costumes and textiles. There is a lively programme of changing temporary exhibitions and events throughout the year.

Parking
Visitors may use the museum car park at the rear of Pickford's House, off Agard Street.

Facilities for disabled visitors
Pickford's House is an historic building and adaptations have been made to give wheelchair users access to the ground floor and basement. Unfortunately there is no toilet on these floors and no wheelchair access to the first and second floors. Visitors may view a video guide to the museum.

Baby changing facilities are available.
