Our museum is housed in a replica Victorian boiler house that powered the Inclined Plane boat lift adjacent to Foxton Locks. We tell the story of how the Inclined Plane was constructed, used and eventually dismantled through interactive displays, like our boiler game, miniature canal boat and dress up area with Victorian-style costumes to try on. We bring this unique industrial heritage to life through moving models of the boat lift and our enthusiastic volunteers.
Have we signed the Kids in Museums Manifesto?
