Amberley Industrial Museum, West Sussex

Amberley Working Museum

Amberley Working Museum is one of the top attractions in West Sussex and deserves to be too. It's a 36 acre museum housed in a former chalkpit near the beautiful village of Amberley. And it houses an eclectic collection of items relating to transport, architecture, industry, nature and crafts.

Reasons why the museum is interesting? Well, its entirely staffed by volunteers yet extremely professionally run. There's a huge variety of things on offer, some of which are a curious mix of the mundane and yet unusual. And there's a lot of fun things to do like going on the narrow gauge railway or simply eating or drinking.

Interesting items on display include the Southdown bus collection, the Paviors Hall of Roadmaking, a Concrete Exhibition (much more interesting than it sounds, really) and the Arundel Gin Building. The website is packed with information and is a must read in our opinion.
