Saddleworth Museum
Uppermill · 1.9 miles
Set in the remains of the 19th-century Victoria Mill, the museum in Uppermill, Saddleworth, Greater Manchester, presents the local history of the area. The derelict mill was bought in 1959 by Roger Tanner, and with the assistance of volunteers the sole surviving building was converted into a museum that opened to the public in 1962. Over the following two decades the institution expanded its collections, developed new exhibits and secured charitable status, while a board of trustees was established to guide its mission. A public appeal in 1980 funded the addition of a community gallery for art exhibitions and local events, and partnerships with nearby organisations were forged. A major refurbishment followed a successful National Heritage Lottery Fund grant in 2014, delivering a modern reception area, fully refurbished galleries with interactive displays and dedicated learning spaces for children. After closing on 20 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum reopened on 22 May 2021 with an upgraded website, virtual experiences, online shopping and ticketing. Volunteers continue to support daily operations, and the Friends of the Saddleworth Museum and Gallery organise fundraising events and membership schemes. Admission is subject to a charge and opening times are published on the museum’s listing; facilities include a visitor information desk and a shop.
