A unique museum that tells the history of needle making, in a listed Victorian watermill
A museum featuring the local manufacturing industry, it illustrates the town's historic role in needle production for sewing & fishing equipment.
During Queen Victoria's reign Redditch was the international centre of the needle making and fishing tackle industries and once produced ninety per cent of the world's needles. The Forge Mill Needle Museum in Redditch is a historic museum depicting that industrial heritage. It includes models and recreated scenes that provide a vivid illustration of how needles were once made, and the museum organises many exhibitions, demonstrations, and workshops on how needles were used in the textile industry. Forge Mill Needle Museum is an unusual and fascinating place to visit. It is one of the most unique museums in Worcestershire and the West Midlands. The museum also has a superb gift shop selling souvenirs and a good selection of the finest quality needles, many of which are locally produced. They also stock unusual needles and offer a mail order service.
