Asbestos in the basement felt like a silent killer sneaking and searching for an opportunity to spring out of captivity. Very informative tour, knowledgeable guide.

Such an interesting place. The history of jewellery making and how things have changed and how so much has not. Great place and the tour guide really knew her history. Thank you so much for a truly enjoyable experience

What a fascinating museum! Our guide, Steve, told us so much about this former working factory, and painted a clear and interesting picture of how all parts of the manufacture of jewellery occurred. Couldn't recommend it more highly!

Fantastic little museum. Like stepping back in time. Had a guided tour by Steve, whose knowledge of the history of the building people who worked there was amazing. It's not fully restored yet but what there is available to see is well worth the visit. I will Definitely be going back again once it is fully restored.
