The Museum of Local Life closed to the public on 1st April 2003 as the result of cuts in the museum service budget.

The Tudor House is now run by a group of volunteers called W.H.A.T. Their website is: http://www.tudorhouse.org.uk/

High Street c. 1908 - Click on image for a bigger picture In the meantime, this part of the site will remain to ensure that some access to our social history collections is still available - see also Building History. The museum existed to show the everyday lives of Worcester people.
This will continue to be an important part of our work in the future, so we intend to increase the number of objects, photographs and oral histories available online during the next 12 months. St Nicholas Street. c.1910 - Click on image for a bigger picture
