About

The Newman Brothers Coffin Works factory is a rare and wonderfully preserved example of Victorian Engineering. Experience a time capsule, with its working machinery and unusual products - coffin handles and ornaments, linings and shrouds - left on the shelves and workbenches when the workforce set down their tools and left for the very last time. Our guides will lead you around the factory where you will experience the sights, sounds and smells of factory life and hear stories about workers, owners and trades. Tours last approximately 1 hour. Visit our website to book group tours and school visits and for details of our events and exhibitions programme.
