Located at the Tipton end of the Dudley Tunnel, this 26-acre museum is focused around an historical recreation of a typical 19th century industrial town. Historic buildings from sites around the Black Country have been deconstructed and rebuilt on this site to create an authentic historic environment with pubs, houses and shops.

You can also see a range of craft activities demonstrated including glass and metal working and sweet-making. There is a fairground and also electric tram, trolleybus and pony rides. See a silent film in the 1920s cinema, or grab some fish & chips at the 1930s fried fish shop. Take an underground coal mine tour or a canal boat trip into the astonishing Dudley Tunnel to see the extensive underground quarry workings and caverns.

The museum (Tipton Road, Dudley) is open daily from March to October, and Wednesday to Sunday from November to February.

We offer:

  • Museum
  • Restaurant
