Gloucester Waterways Museum.

“It is housed in a Victorian warehouse at Gloucester Docks and is located along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and River Severn.

“The museum features a collection of boats including narrowboats, river barges, canal and river tugs, and a steam powered dredger. There is also a steam crane and heavy oil engine in the setting of a canal repair yard, complete with working machine shop, forge and weighbridge, and a hydraulic accumulator. The museum uses modern interactive techniques and hands on exhibits, which includes a model of canal.

“It was formerly known as the ‘National Waterways Museum, Gloucester’, one of three museums operated by The Waterways Trust that focused on the history of canals in Britain.”
