Must visit place. There is ample space for car park with toilet facility. Its amazing to see how these small boat was raised in the canal step by step.
Really fun & informative museam, the staff are really friendly and helpful, and clearly passionate about the site
Was a wonder to see all those hard working volunteers. Especially the tall handsome seasonal who was always going above and beyond his duties.
It was quite small. 3.50 wasn't worth that price.
Really good little museum and very helpful staff
Great little museum explaining how inclined plane canal lifts work. My only criticism is that there doesn't seem to be an active drive to raise the money required to restore the lift. With the recent rise in canal boating popularity, this would be a great investment in our British heritage and could help the local town of Foxton thrive through increased tourism.
Foxton locks ideal for a family day out
The pump building is a very good setting for a small museum explaining a short history of canal life ,and it's not expensive. Children love stoking the furnace to watch the movie.
Compact Museum, but excellent really. A good hour looking and watching things. Very impressed and my kids were actually entertained. Top marks.
