There is no cafe. This site is unique amongst the suite of Museum buildings because it contains the original equipment installed in the 1880s and abandoned in situ at the end of the 1950s. The resultant 'time capsule' remains the heart of this Museum, with other adjacent rooms used to explain the local clay tobacco pipe-making industry from its origins in the late 16th century through to 1960. The pipeworks has its own special atmosphere because the rooms are small, the floors uneven and many of the original equipment quite fragile. Consequently, visiting school groups are asked to take especial care when looking around.
Coaches have to park on the road adjacent to the factory.
