It all began with the vision of one man, John Wield, over a hundred years ago. He foresaw that one day people would ask about the origins of the then young Victorian spa community and so set about recording what he could for the future. John had a fascination with the art of photography, one of his many interests, and it is his photographic collection, which forms the basis for today's Cottage Museum, the home of his family from 1887 to the 1960s.
It first opened its doors in 1987.
