The museum tells the story of Gatti and other workers who lived and worked on the canals during the Victorian era. It is open every day except for Saturdays from 10am-4.30pm. Admission costs around �2.50 for adults.

Visiting boats: In theory there is mooring and water for one visiting boat at the museum, if you require this it's probably best to ring in advance (and to be a good pilot!). Otherwise moor on the towpath near the basin and walk.
