Hornsea Museum Museums

Hornsea Museum was established in 1978. The museum is not a relic but a living entity, changing with time, to reflect the changing patterns of village life in North Holderness over the passing centuries.

From the pre-industrial age of the early 1700's through to post second World War Britain, the museum shows human evolution, warts and all ! Personalities, characters, tools, trades - all are presented in imaginative and informative displays accessible to old and young alike.

At the rear of the Museum are some pleasant and spacious gardens which are easily accessible to all.

The Victorian Street scene is a new addition to Hornsea Museum. The street is known as Burn's Lane and runs down the side of the main museum complex. The street contains a number of shop fronts designed in Victorian style. The shop frontages display a wide variety of goods typical of those found in the high street of a traditional Victorian market town.
