Kingswood Heritage Museum
Industrial heritage of the local area
Kingswood Heritage Museum documents the rich industrial and social history of East Bristol and South Gloucestershire, with a particular focus on the local coal mining and boot-making industries.
Housed in the former Champion brass works, the museum features fascinating displays on the Douglas motorcycle company, local pottery, and the famous Fry’s chocolate factory.
Visitors can explore the engine house and see working machinery that provides a tangible link to the area’s hardworking past.
The museum is run by a passionate team of volunteers who bring the stories of local workers and families to life, making it a vital resource for anyone wanting to understand the industrial backbone that helped build the region.
