Tubwell Row Collection

Wooden Dog

Tubwell Row Museum was opened in 1921 with the purpose of 'illustrating the mode of life of a former generation or of another nation'.

Unfortunately in 1998, due to budget cuts, Tubwell Row Museum closed and the collection was cut down. It was decided that any art, objects, photos or documents relating to Darlington were to be kept by the council.

The remaining items were moved to museums in North East England, such as the Hancock Museum and Beamish.

The remaining collection consists of social history, archaeology, ceramics and natural history.
