Langwith Whaley Thorns Heritage Centre is a small, volunteer-run museum in Nottinghamshire dedicated to the history of Whaley Thorns and Langwith. Inside you'll find a display of village artefacts, known as the John Hyatt Collection, along with an archive of over 3,500 old photographs and paintings by the centre's founder. Local history books written by local historian Tony Warrener are also for sale, covering subjects from a secret WW1 munitions factory to the village's lost cotton mill. It suits anyone with an interest in local or family history, and admission is free, though donations are welcomed. The centre is open Wednesdays, with other visits by appointment. It's a short stop, and with the train station just 0.2 miles away and 17 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it fits easily into a wider visit to the area.
