Forge Mill Needle Museum, Industrial museum in Redditch, England.
The Forge Mill Needle Museum operates in a former water-powered scouring mill building, presenting exhibits about needle manufacturing through working machinery and models.
The mill began as an iron forge in 1730 and transformed into a needle scouring facility, continuing production until 1958 before becoming a museum in 1983.
The museum preserves the industrial legacy of Redditch, which manufactured 90 percent of the world's needles during the Victorian period through skilled craftsmanship.
Visitors can explore three floors of exhibits, including working machinery demonstrations on Tuesdays and weekends, with a coffee bar and gift shop on site.
The facility maintains the last remaining water-powered scouring mill machinery in existence, demonstrating the complete Victorian needle manufacturing process.
