Weaver Hall Museum & Workhouse
Recommended by
Overview
The museum is housed in the old Northwich Union Workhouse building. A special exhibition in the former workhouse schoolroom explores what life was like for the paupers who lived and worked at Weaver Hall, and visitors can find out about workhouse food, hear the stories of some of the people who lived here, and visit the recreated Master's sitting room. The rest of the museum is full of displays and tales of the history and industry of West Cheshire. The stories are told through films, reconstructions, models, and displays of artefacts.
