Tolson Museum, Memorial museum in Ravensknowle Park, Huddersfield, England
The Tolson Museum occupies a Victorian mansion called Ravensknowle Hall, featuring exhibits about local archaeology, natural history, and industrial development through multiple galleries.
Legh Tolson donated the building to Huddersfield Corporation in 1919 to commemorate his two nephews who lost their lives during the First World War.
The museum contains a reconstructed Victorian schoolroom that demonstrates educational practices from the nineteenth century, along with displays of traditional weaving machinery.
Located on Wakefield Road in Moldgreen, the museum provides free entry to visitors and maintains regular exhibitions focusing on regional heritage and industrial development.
The transport gallery houses Britain's most uncommon automobile, a three-wheeled LSD vehicle manufactured in the local area between 1919 and 1924.
