Prescot Museum Museums
The new Prescot Museum sees a contemporary space merge with a traditional museum. Following its relocation from Georgian premises to an indoor shopping centre, the museum has retained and enhanced many of its most popular and historically significant displays, giving them a new lease of life and a wider audience within a multi-coloured setting, sharing the venue with Prescot library and the One Stop Shop.The collection is made up of a range of objects, mainly related to local businesses, industries (BICC cable makers, coal mining, watch making, pottery manufacture), and people, so can be described as a social and industrial collection.A large percentage of the collection, approximately 11,000 objects, is made up of paper based items including ephemera and photographs. The three dimensional objects in the collection are varied, and include items such as glass bottles, ceramics, tools, costume, domestic items, coins, badges, trophies, architectural fragments, and militaria.
