The Robert Owen collection is housed in the ground floor of a listed building with three steps up to the main floor level. Accessibility ramps are available to be put into position when required.<\/p>\n
Some doors are heavy and you may require assistance to open them.<\/p>\n
The layout of the museum means that some areas are narrower than others. Moving a wheelchair around may be tricky in places, depending on the size of the wheelchair, but most areas are accessible.<\/p>\n
There is a television in the foyer area showing a DVD about the life of Robert Owen, which can be viewed by everyone.<\/p>\n
The museum does not currently have audio interpretation or braille signage.<\/p>\n
A toilet is available for disabled use. It is on the same level as the museum, and spacious in the cubicle itself.<\/p>\n
There is a disabled parking bay on High Street, within 30 metres of the museum. The museum is manned by Town Council staff. If you phone 01686 625544<\/span> in advance of your visit, it would help the staff to prepare for your needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Robert Owen collection is housed in the ground floor of a listed building with three steps up to the main floor level.
