The
museum
creates
the
atmosphere
of
a
warehouse
as
a
busy
workplace
and
focus
for
associated
businesses
and
lives.
It
is
a
good
place
to
visit
on
a
wet
or
cold,
windy
day
and
has
quite
a
few
displays
and
activities
that
will
entertain
and
engage
younger
children.
The
lighting
is
quite
dim
as
it
would
have
been
in
a
working
warehouse.
There
is
plenty
to
look
at
either
for
a
skim,
to
get
an
idea
of
life
in
and
the
workings
of
the
dock
lands,
or
for
a
slower
tour,
taking
in
the
details
and
imagining
the
lives
of
those
that
worked
here.
The
museum
displays
artifacts
against
backgrounds
that
show
their
context,
from
a
street
scene
showing
shops
where
imported
goods
were
sold
to
workshops
for
the
craftsmen
that
supported
the
needs
of
the
warehouses
and
docks.
Whether
you
like
social
history,
industrial
engineering,
the
workings
of
commerce,
trade
and
shipping
or
the
activities
of
the
customs
and
excise
men,
this
museum
has
a
lot
to
offer.
The
subject
is
very
broad
and
this
museum
does
a
great
job
in
bringing
the
history
to
life.
Definitely
worth
a
visit
and
depending
on
your
group
and
level
of
interest
allow
between
one
and
several
hours
to
take
it
all
in.
There
is
a
cafe
on
the
ground
floor
and
a
gift
shop
that
sells
some
interesting
and
quirky
items
-
a
photo
of
policemen
jumping
into
a
dock
was
one
of
my
favourites.
