Colne Valley Museum

Attraction Overview

The Colne Valley museum is located in Golcar near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The museum consists of four converted 19th-century weavers’ cottages and provides an insight into what life was like for the inhabitants of these houses in the early 1850s.

The original cottages were built in 1840 by two independent cloth manufacturers. They were built into a steep hillside. Exhibits include a spinning jenny, a weaver’s sitting room and a gas-lit clogger’s shop. There is also a handloom chamber, kitchen and living rooms. The museum is entirely run by volunteers. On some weekends the museum opens for demonstrations including crafts from the 19th century.
