Colne Valley Museum, Independent house museum in Golcar, Kirklees, England.
The museum occupies four renovated weavers' cottages from the 19th century, featuring period rooms that display traditional textile production methods and domestic life.
The museum buildings, constructed between 1840 and 1845 by James and Sally Pearson, served as homes for independent cloth manufacturers in the Victorian era.
The exhibits include a clog maker's workshop, handloom chamber, spinning room, and cropping room that demonstrate the textile manufacturing heritage of West Yorkshire.
The museum opens on Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank Holiday Mondays from 12:00 to 16:00, with an admission fee of £5 for adults and free entry for accompanied children.
Children visiting during school trips wear period clothing while learning about traditional crafts and daily activities from volunteer demonstrators in the historical setting.
