Dean Heritage Centre, Museum in Soudley, Forest of Dean, England
The Dean Heritage Centre contains five galleries showcasing the Forest of Dean's history through geological records, industrial artifacts, and interactive displays.
The Dean Heritage Museum Trust formed in 1979 to protect local heritage, leading to the museum's opening in 1983 at a former corn mill.
The museum features a Victorian classroom where students write with slate and chalk, experiencing education methods from the nineteenth century.
The Heritage Kitchen restaurant serves homemade food, while picnic tables and barbecue areas provide outdoor dining options for visitors.
The site includes Harvey's Folly, replicating a freemine entrance that represents historical coal mining rights granted to Forest of Dean natives.
