History man Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 There is a fantastic 'secret' museum on Ecclesall road that needs shouting about. The museum, located next to the church in the old church hall, specialises in local history from 1850-1950 showing many local businesses and domestic situations. I urge you to go and experience it for yourself, there is so much there, and best of all is the hands on approach that they offer, very different to any of the other museums in the area. The next open day is the last saturday of February, add it to your diary it really does have to be seen to be appreciated.It's great for all ages and a very interesting and exciting day out.

Sounds like something me and my wife would be interested in, the problem is I work on a Saturday. Is it ever open on a Sunday ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History man Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm afraid not, but the next open day is an all day event on 23rd february. If this still is not appropriate I can let you have the contact details to see about arranging a trip for small groups in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KivWaHistory Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It is a fantastic museum and very much one of Sheffield's secrets. It's been going for years I think, mainly down to lots of hard work by volunteers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopyLou Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 my uncle alan jepson did most of the original carpentry work to build all the old shops and facias. I walked passed the other day, but couldn't bring myself to go in- as it wouldn;t be the same for me without him there to show me around. But on a lighter note - i recommend this to anyone else to go and have a look. Its all run by volunteers and is very very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
