Trace how cloth production, first wool, then cotton, became Lancashire's main export throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Follow a journey to discover how raw wool and cotton were transformed into yarn ready to be woven into cloth.

Experience the Revolution gallery where you can follow the story of Lancashire's unique role in the industrial revolution. Learn how the grand and mighty waterwheel powered the stocks as they thumped the wet woollen cloth.

Enjoy our upgraded buildings which mean you can now explore more of the Museum including a contemporary reception and shop area.
