This exhibition is about the World of Timber and the displays of traditional trades, working engines and woodland skills are set around a replica of an old water-powered sawmill. Imaginative, well conceived displays give an immediate insight into a rural industry now mainly lost forever. Discover the Millowner's cottage, the wheelwright, the carpenter, the cooper and the Blacksmith as displays and commentary bring their story to life. - This exhibition, originally installed in 1981, won the Carnegie Heritage Interpretation Award shortly afterwards and has recently been refurbished with improved signage and sound.
