The Traditional Heritage Museum |
||||||||||
|
The Museum is situated in the former hall of Endcliffe Methodist Church on Ecclesall Road (A652) just below Hunters Bar. It comprises a fascinating collection of artefacts, housed in small reconstructed workshops representing typical Sheffield trades - filemaking, horn scalepressing, grinding, silversmithing engraving, etc.
In addition, 
there is a basketmaking shop, a clog maker's shop, a chemist's and an optician's shop, together with small domestic rooms, a grocer's shop, a typical 'corner shop', an electrical retailer and a pawnbroker's shop.
The collection provides a unique picture of handcrafted trades and domestic life and work in 
the period 1850 - 1950 and is of educational and general interest to visitors of all ages as well as to industrial archaeologists, trade organisations and local historians.
The Museum has a very active educational outreach programme and local service for schools.
