Havering Museum, Local museum in Romford, United Kingdom
Havering Museum occupies part of a former brewery building in Romford and tells the story of how this London borough developed over time. The exhibitions document the area's growth from its origins to the present day.
The site was once home to a working brewery before the building found new purpose as a museum. This conversion allowed the region's history to be preserved and shared with the community.
The museum displays the identity of different areas: Havering-atte-Bower, Hornchurch, Romford, Rainham, and Upminster each have their own exhibition spaces. Visitors can see how each neighborhood developed and what makes it special to the people living there.
The museum is open several days a week and children enter free of charge. Plan enough time to explore the different exhibition sections at a comfortable pace.
The museum is run entirely by volunteers who handle everything from collections to education to visitor services. This makes it a truly community-driven place where local dedication shapes the experience.
