Dean Heritage Centre

The Dean Heritage Centre was set up originally by local people in 1979 in response to public concern that the heritage of the Forest of Dean was disappearing. The Museum was actually opened in 1983, transforming a former corn mill. Major refurbishment was undertaken with finance provided through the Heritage Lottery Fund, this being completed in 2003.
The Trust is always looking for new volunteers to help keep this local asset. This special day gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy all there is to offer.
"Backstage in the Gage" this year will be a half hour talk on the Miles Brothers.
Find out the fascinating story of the Miles brothers travels, adventures and working in the mining industry in Australia, America and Canada.
