Black Country Living Museum - F&C - Re-meetup Saturday 7th July 2018

[Mr Badger]

This is on my 'to-do' list as it actually a different location to the Black Country Museum?

I believe it's a Victorian village exhibit and part of the Ironbridge museum near Telford, Fraser. It's certainly not the same place as the BCLM.

Maybe we could do the Ironbridge Museum some time.

I believe the bridge itself is under restoration at the moment, so maybe best to check and/or wait for it to be finished (if it's not going to be years) before we go?

Yes it's definitely all wrapped up. Apparently the restoration does give an opportunity to see into the interior (presumably for a price) but I think I'd rather get pics of the bridge unencumbered!

However the bridge itself is normally freely accessible when not wrapped up. The group of museums that make up the whole site is much more than the bridge. We took 3 visits to get round them all, the pass for them is good for a year and allows you to go back to the ones you have not yet seen.

Sounds like it might be an idea for a September F&C day out then?

For old fogeys like me an annual ticket for all 10 museums is £19.45 while for young whipersnappers like you £25.15 - parking is £3 for the day covering 6 of the museum car parks

So the thick end of £30 each for non-concessions then? Ouch!

Edit: Hang on, just found the 'single attractions' page, and it's £17.95 'on the door' for a day at just the Blists Hill site, and £12.50 for old codgers, sorry, I mean over 60s! which makes it a bit more appealing.

My apologies I thought they were the same place.
