  Pollock's Toy Museum
The Pollock's Toy Museum's history dates way back in to the mid 1800. A young man by the name Benjamin Pollock’s was married to Eliza Redington and inherited her fathers business when he (John Redington) died. The business he inherited was namely a "Theatrical Print Warehouse"

He was well known for his diligence as he never entrusted anyone else to do his work throughout the 60 years he ran the business and when he died in 1937 it was his daughters Louise and Selina who were involved in carrying on from where their father left off.

Since his death the place was run by many parties despite many difficulties that brought it to the verge of closure. In 1955 Marguerite Fawdry bought the collection of items and she revitalised the business.
