A "hidden" gem of Leicester. It's been there for nearly 50 years but never heard of it until last week. Very small-scale but quite fascinating. Recognized a lot of appliances remembered from my youth (see photo). Pluses were, it's free to enter & there's plenty of parking available. The chap at "reception"(Andy) was welcoming, polite, informative & friendly.

I visited as part of a pre-booked group. I’m not sure if you can just turn up. We had an interesting guided tour and learnt about the history of the gas-works before the days of “North Sea gas” There are some quirky exhibits including a gas hair dryer and a gas radio, I kid you not!

A Hidden Gem, full of memorabilia from the oldest cooker from 1890s, a 1920s kitchen and some more modern appliances. A piece of real history soon to be pushed to the back of our memories as fossil fuel become a thing of the past. Dog Friendly too.
