Pickford's

is
a
very
interesting
Georgian
period
house
that
has
been
restored
sympathetically
to
retain
it's
many
period
features
.
The
house
is
steeped
in
history
and
displays
many
artifacts
and
items
that
were
in
common
use
in
the
house
during
its
history
.
The
house
is
furnished
and
equipped
with
period
fixtures
and
fittings
and
displays
most
aspects
of
its
inhabitants
from
the
house
keeping
staff
to
the
gentry
who
lived
there
.
The
house
also
has
various
displays
which
are
changed
throughout
the
year
and
are
most
interesting
,
ranging
from
puppet
theatre
to
1960
s
fashion
exhibitions
.
The
entrance
is
free
and
donations
are
greatly
appreciated
to
help
maintain
the
property
and
fund
it's
various
displays
and
exhibits
.
The
museum's
Victorian
puppet
theatre
exhibition
is
most
interesting
and
fun
and
is
quite
fascinating
,
and
would
intrigue
the
young
and
the
older
generation
alike
,
with
a
life
size
small
stage
set
background
for
that
ideal
photo
opportunity
as
a
souvenir
!
For
you

your
family
.
There
are
also
some
colouring
pages
of
replica
puppet
scenes
that
one
can
shade
in
available
upstairs
in
the
puppet
room
free

charge
,
which
will
keep
the
children
happy
.
The
house
really
is
a
time
capsule
and
is
only
a
ten
minute
walk
from
the
city
centre
,
so
