An excellent Maritime Museum, where one can still watch people building their boats downstairs. Upstairs there is an extensive collection of maritime artefacts, books and pictures ; including Pierhead paintings and the White Ensign of the R.Y. Britannia.

On a wet and windy August bank holiday afternoon , I wandered into the Nottage museum. What an absolutely good move it was. Totally enthralled by the regular exhibits and informed by tales of east coast sailing history. A white ensign belonging to the king was worth climbing the stairs . The well displayed story of the Cap Pilar was superb , inspirational and I thought the personal insights were quite moving. All in all one of the best afternoons I've had all summer. Who needs the telly?

What a brilliant little space. What a fascinating half hour I spent chatting to the volunteer on site. Superb if you are interested in boat building or the like.

Heritage workshop, classic clinker boat building and YHA study centre. Lots of local history and traditional crafting...
