The Warren Toy Museum
This museum is in the centre of the town, a few metres from the cathedral, and near the
market. It contains dolls, dolls' houses, books, games and pastimes, mechanical and
constructional toys. In this collection there are toys made by all sorts of toy manufacturers
from the most important to the smallest, including the most ordinary toys and the most
precious. There are also records of children's pastimes over the last hundred and fifty years.
Most major manufacturing countries of Europe had toy industries in the last century; French
and German factories produced millions of toys each year. Many collectors of toys think that
the second half of the nineteenth century was the best period for toy production and the
museum has many examples of toys from this period which are still in perfect condition.

There is now a growing interest in the toys of the 1920s and 1930s and as a result of this the
museum has begun to build up a collection from these years. Visitors to the museum will find
that someone is always available to answer questions - we hope you will visit us. Hours of
opening 10.00 - 17.30 every day (except December 25 and 26).
