Liskeard Museum 2025
Housed in a Victorian Gothic style stone building, the former East Cornwall Savings Bank. Called Forester’s Hall, it was designed by one of Liskeard’s foremost architects, Henry Rice. The building was built in 1835, a time when Liskeard was becoming prosperous thanks to wealth from local mines. The history of the area is tied up with the early extraction of tin and agriculture.
