This room takes you back in time to the 19th and early 20th centuries, showing not only what the kitchen of these buildings would have looked like, but also exhibits several examples of the tools of local craftsmen.

The original fireplace has been restored and is the focus of the room as it would have been originally.  You can see how cooking and baking and washing clothes was done in the days before gas and electricity.

Examples of local craftsmen’s tools include a blacksmith’s bellows, anvil and hammers, a carpenter and wheelwright’s chest of tools, a boot and shoemaker’s treadle sewing machine, and other items.

Adults and children alike are usually tempted to open a flap to see what is behind the old iron cell door that used to be in the Filey police station!
