The Victorian Street (1895)

Visitors to the museum can step back in time to 1895 and experience and enjoy the much loved Victorian Street. 


The street includes a printers, iron mongers, pharmacy and a Victorian tea room, all over which are authentically correct. Behind every street door lies a new adventure and experience, as well as something brand new to discover and learn.



The Victorian Street at Preston Park, was one major inspirational and influential aspect for a recent project based on a fictional Victorian street, The Haunted Histories of Hartlepool.
