The Museum Of Bath At Work

The centrepiece of the Museum, covering an entire floor, is the reconstructed engineering and soft drinks factory of Victorian businessman J B Bowler. The Museum also has on display a car manufactured in 1914 by the Horstmann Car Company of Bath. This is the earliest known example in the world and is fitted with a kick-starting mechanism and other unusual features. Sidney Horstmann’s car company operated from 1914 until 1928, making around 2000 cars. The Museum holds large historic collections of film, photographs, documents, sound recordings and objects relating to the commercial development of the city. These include over 40,000 glass plate negatives from the local engineering firm of Stothert & Pitt, over 400 taped interviews with local workers and moving film of the city at work. http://www.bath-at-work.org.uk/ Adults £5.00 Concessions ( Senior, Unemployed, Disabled) £4.00 Child £3.50 Family (two Adults, two Concessions) £12.00 Residents of Bath & North East Somerset £1 discount off admission charge Groups £3.00 (per person)
