OUR WONDERFUL MUSEUM

​

The Foxton Canal Museum is the place to explore the history of the Lift, Locks and Lives associated with Foxton Locks in engaging and innovative ways

 

There is something for everyone in the building, not just the waterway enthusiast and historian. Follow the canal round the museum and Fred will help you discover Foxton’s past and introduce the people that made it such a wonderful place.

 

We have the Boiler Game, which requires you to put coal on the fire to make the lift work, we have the play boat where children can explore life on the canal, and we have a great collection of waterway artefacts and stories, including our working lift model, and our large screen story where you can watch while Fred tells you about our waterways history.
