Hornsea Museum

Hornsea Museum occupies an 18th-century farmhouse and two attached cottages displaying how people lived in this rural area long ago. The rooms show a bedroom, dairy, kitchen, and other spaces with original furnishings and tools from that period.

The farmhouse was home to one family for nearly 300 years until it was converted into a museum in the late 1970s. This transformation preserved the building's connection to local life and regional traditions for future visitors.

The collection of pottery items represents a local ceramic industry that shaped the region's economic and creative life for generations. Visitors can see how this craft developed and what it meant for people living here.

The museum spreads across multiple rooms organized by theme, allowing visitors to move through the spaces at their own pace. The layout is compact and makes it easy to see everything including the workshop area outside.

The archive holds recorded interviews from local residents documenting their lives in the early 1900s, preserving personal memories that might otherwise have been forgotten. These audio recordings capture everyday stories and experiences from an earlier time.
