The Fusilier Museum, Military museum in Bury, England.
The Fusilier Museum is a military museum in Bury, England, documenting the history of the Lancashire Fusiliers and Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. The collection includes uniforms, medals, photographs, letters, and war diaries spanning over 300 years of service.
The museum relocated from Wellington Barracks to its current Grade II listed building on Broad Street, opening in September 2009. This move brought together decades of collected military heritage in a dedicated public space.
The galleries share personal stories from soldiers who served across different conflicts, from the World Wars to modern deployments. Visitors experience how these individuals lived their lives through letters, diaries, and photographs on display.
The museum is situated in Bury's Cultural Quarter near the East Lancashire Railway and Bury Market. It operates on weekdays, so plan your visit accordingly to enjoy the displays without crowds.
The museum holds several Victoria Crosses awarded to Lancashire Fusiliers during World War I, representing extraordinary acts of courage. These rare decorations are among the most valuable items in the entire collection.
