Bygones, Victorian era museum in St Marychurch, Torquay, England.
The three-floor museum displays over 2000 genuine artifacts across multiple exhibits, including an authentic Victorian street with a blacksmith forge and sweetshop.
Founded in 1987 by the Cuming family, the museum originated from their collection of railwayana and the acquisition of a 27-ton railway tank engine.
The exhibition features detailed reconstructions of Victorian domestic spaces, including a nursery, kitchen, and parlor that showcase daily life from that period.
The museum includes a station cafe serving drinks, snacks, sandwiches, and homemade cakes, plus a shop offering traditional toys and war memorabilia.
Visitors can explore a reconstructed World War I trench and inspect a Boer War Christmas tin from 1900 that retains its original contents.
