 Hard to believe it was once a
jail by iandsmith
You can wander through cobbled streets, see a grand array of historic costumes, view the toys that children used to treasure and go shopping the Victorian way. That's one thing I like about rural museums, when they're done right, they can be excellent value.
The buildings that house these fabulous displays have their own history. They were originally prisons. All sorts, from debtors to murderers, were jailed here. Some were even hanged here.
Visitors who come to see the Museum's wonderful collections also gain insight into the harsh realities of prison life in the 18th Century. Leave a Comment

Give yourself plenty of time to visit this museum, a minimum of 2 hours but more than that if you can spare it.
Housed in the old prison, the Castle Museum is full of displays on social issues in England from farming to housewives to life during WWII, with rooms from typical homes from several different eras, examples of dress, children's toys, streets filled with shops from the Victorian & Edwardian periods.
One of my favorite sections was "From Cradle to Grave" which discussed changing customs over the years regarding birth, death and marriage.
At the end of the museum you'll see some of the old prison cells and an exhibit on infamous highwayman Dick Turpin.
Admission was L6.80 for adults, if you hang onto your ticket and plan on going back to York, you can revisit for free for the next 12 months!!! Leave a Comment

 York Castle Museum by londonloverLeave a Comment

Although it is called Castle Museum, this place has nothing to do with castles ,princes, queens etc. it shows how everyday things in the daily life of normal, everyday people have changed over the years. From dresses to toys, cooking , cleaning in the household to the risks of childbirth, just about everything is covered. I especially liked the Victorian streets with the lifesized shops.
Until July 31,2005 there is display of the postcard collection:We are the people.
You need a few hours for the museum, it's too good to just run through. Leave a Comment Address: York Castle Museum,Castle AreaDirections: The museum is near Cliffor Tower, just behind the parking lot.Website: www.york.castle.museum

Wander through the extensive exhibits of York Castle Museum
York Museum takes you through the different eras of human history. Check out the cool and deliciously fragrant chocolate exhibit. What does chocolate have to do with human history, you ask? Duh, when chocolate was first launched, women totally fell in love with it! Leave a Comment
