Chemist Shop                                           
 Gallery Plan

In January 1974, Worcester City Museum bought the contents of Stewardâs Chemist Shop from the Steward family, including all the fixtures and fittings, display units and shop stock (some of which dated back well over 100 years).

This gallery was converted to hold the display and this reconstruction is as identical as possible to the original shop - we have tried to show how Stewardâs Chemist Shop would have looked in the early 1900s - the only feature that could not be added were the original shop windows - Preview & Interactive.
