The Smithy Heritage Centre

The Smithy Heritage Centre opens Saturdays and Sundays 1pm to 4pm, and other times by special arrangement.

“What No Sweets?”

Explore WW2 through the eyes of a child. A time of evacuation, loss, rationing and no sweets!

The Smithy Heritage Centre is a dog friendly venue – everyone is welcome including your four-legged friends!

You can enjoy a virtual tour of the Smithy and one of our previous exhibitions, Objects of Desire. Click on the image below and you will enter a 3D rendering of the Smithy which you can navigate around by clicking on arrows. Click on the little target symbols to find out more about the objects next to them.

Image of the interior of the Smithy - there is a large display case in the foreground and the walls are lined with tools, with some even hanging from the wooden rafters and beams. There is a very large wheel to the right of the image. The image features little blue and white target symbols on key objects on display

We would like to thank Matt Dodd and The Atkinson for scanning the Smithy and enabling us to access this resource.
