What is the Portland Basin Museum?
The Portland Basin Museum is a social and industrial Museum that is located in Ashton Under-Lyme. It is housed in a beautiful nineteenth century Ashton Canal Warehouse.
It has two floors full of interesting stories on how it was like to live in Ashton Under-Lyme in the 1920s. You will also find and explore printing machines, clogs, boats, trains and a little farm section. It is fun and interactive for anyone no matter what your age is.
The 1920s Street
Walking down the 1920s street at The Portland Basin Museum was brilliant. It made me feel as if I was actually there witnessing how it was back then living during those times.
The old house was beautiful with lots of lovely furniture and a great fireplace. It highlighted how old houses were small in which big families lived in crammed conditions. There is also a piano in the living room too.
The school looked real with a desk and shelves piled with books. There is a bell there too to add real effect. The education system in Tameside was about teaching pupils the 3 R’s. Also later on there was part time attendance where students would only attend 2 hours a day.
The Fish and Chip Shop was great. There was a till that looked real with a person to make it look like they were selling Fish and Chips. Cool. It was one of the common meals for people to eat in the old times. If people were poor then they could only afford little pieces of Potato.
Other highlights were the grocery store which included real life items that people bought such as the weighing scales and gravy.
The Church was well designed with lovely furniture and a piano. There is also a GP surgery and a Pub to a name a few too. It was also a nice touch to look at some historical objects from Egypt and Greece too.
It was interesting, interactive and engaging. It was brilliant in making every aspect looking so real when it is not. Great.
The other Gallery focused on the history of the Printing machine and Clogs which are shoes that were worn by Mill workers and dancers too. There were some on display to look at. There were some ticket machines and a little area with boats and trains. This covered the history of Transport.
