When we passed by this small museum the first time, it wasn't open. On our way back to Nottingham Castle Marina, we had better luck. The lady who takes care of the museum said she was bored at home, so she came down to open the museum for a couple hours. Housed in a small warehouse, we found examples of clothing, tools, lacework, dishes, and photos of what life was like 100 years ago, when many made their living by hauling goods on the canals. Families would live on their narrow boats year-round. Only a small part of the boat would be dedicated to living space, since most of the space had to be used for cargo. We had a very pleasant time visiting with the museum caretaker, who had a wealth of knowledge and was anxious to share it with anyone who took the time to stop. We were glad we had. There was no charge, but they recommend a £2 donation. It was well worth it.
