Great little museum boasting exhibits of the world's first public railway, one of the first Augustinian monasteries in England, along with the history of all the plant oil distilleries, snuff mills, copper works, and printing works that still emanate in the area. They also have block printing classes you can sign up to.

It was very informative about Merton, Morden Hall Park, Industries, History of Public Railway and seeing the printing blocks for the William Morris design was very interesting.
