The history was interesting and the photos were clear. It's a walk-around-at-your-own-pace thing. The volunteers were great and brought the machines alive. Well worth a rainy afternoon indoors. Gift shop included.

Enjoyed the visit here. It's not very big but children and adults loved it. It's got so much history to it. Can also make a keyring and take it as a souvenir. It's worth a visit. Many events through holidays.

Being highly intuitive (and above average intelligence) I knew without any doubt whatsoever that The Walsall Leather Museum was going to be mediocre at best. C'mon IT'S FREE!!! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? Okay........I EXPECTED WRONG! They weren't kidding about offering individual guided tours (when circumstances allow) or just letting you shuffle through at your own place. There's an incredible amount of history crammed into that building. The two Ian's treated me like ROYALTY (so did the rest of the staff for that matter). I think that some of the people even volunteer. That's a word we seldom encounter these days. I was even able to make a keychain along with a couple of other items using their machines. That was way cool! I figured the least I could do was throw Ian a few bucks for the access and the attention....... FORGET IT! No how no way! He simply wouldn't have it. I'm telling you that these folks are the best people you could ever hope to encounter. No joke. I figured on spending an hour or so there and arrived around 3 o'clock. I didn't realize it at the time but it was 5:20 when I left (and of course they didn't even say anything). GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
