The museum is housed in the remains of the old Victoria Mill, originally built in 1862, which was purchased in 1959 by the founder Roger Tanner (1922 – 2022) MBE DL. The building was probably the original steam room for the mill, and was the only part of the mill to survive. The rest of the mill used to occupy a sizeable area including the space which is now the car park at the side of the museum.
