This collection turns the city’s industrial reputation into physical objects: frames, engines and transport pieces show the scale and ingenuity behind local production. It is especially useful after seeing the Lace Market’s warehouses. Inside Wollaton’s stable courtyard, the machinery gives Nottingham’s textile and engineering stories a tangible form.
What to look for
Textile machinery includes stocking frames.
The collection includes a Basford beam engine.
Transport and communication displays explore local industries.
Useful to know
Plan this separately from the natural-history displays in Wollaton Hall.
Check the event calendar if seeing machinery run is essential.
