For the history buff keen to learn more about Lancashire life in the 1700s, it’s worth taking a trip to the Lancaster Cottage Museum.

This snapshot of eighteenth century Britain during the reign of George II focuses on the home life of the Thompson family at 15 Castle Hill.

At that murky period of our history, Lancaster merchants were growing increasingly affluent from business concerns with the West India trade route. This included involvement in the trafficking of enslaved African men, women and children.

The Cottage Museum provides a hands-on depth of insight into those times with a host of interactive activities.
