Very nice experience I had when visited this museum. Got more knowledge about Foxton Locks and how they work. Even sad to know that the Locks plane were demolished in 1928 but still there's remains. Knowledgeable staff and very helpful too.
Lovely little museum with very friendly, helpful staff. We were just passing through, and I'd never heard of this unique inclined plane lift before, so I was very happy to find out how it worked as the staff took time to explain to us personally. Also, it's dog friendly, so bonus, as our little fella enjoyed it rather than being left outside.
We absolutely loved the Museum! We love how friendly the staff are and how welcoming they are!nnThey were extremely helpful with showing us how the interactive pieces in the museum worked like the example of how the boat lift worked on the model and also an example of pressure with coal to show a video of how the boat lift worked more effectively.nnI feel like i learnt so much about the building of Foxton Locks and felt very lucky to be able to walk round after learning about it.nnI would definitely say head to the Museum first before walking round the Locks to understand more about why and what happens with the Process of going through each lock.nnI look forward to visiting some time in the near Future! Thank you again!
This museum is great it gives a great insight into the inclined plane that used to be here, its such a shame that it was scrapped in 1928
Brilliant day, lovely walks, steeped in history, great places to eat too
