Brief Description.

A small, privately-owned and funded Heritage Museum, in a former Market Hall building. The 'Land of Lost Content' Museum houses the 'Stella Mitchell Collection' comprising of 1,000s of lovingly collected and curated artefacts and memorabilia showcasing Britain's social history and 'British Popular Culture' over the last 200-300 years. Rather than the Museum's Collection being displayed strictly chronologically over the 4 floors of the Museum, the 'Land of Lost Content's' Collection is sub-divided into over 37 themed displays, many of which each encompass exhibits across a number of time eras.

Owing to their wide variety, the following is an illustration of the themed displays situated currently (March 2021)* at Ground Floor level: 'The Victorians'; ' The GPO ( Mail Service); 'Schooldays'; 'Healthcare'; 'Domestic Life'; 'Office Equipment'; 'Wartime' life; 'Technology'.

(* See the 'Land of Lost Content' Museum website's virtual tour links for more details of the Museum's themed displays located on its upper floor levels.) .

The Museum website recommends visitors allow at least 1 - 2 hours to tour the Museum.
