Forncett Industrial Steam Museum

Wonderful museum full of interesting exhibits including some rare pumps and engines. The volunteers are very welcoming and knowledgeable.I had some lovely homemade cakes and good coffee in the tea room.

Went for a steam day and model engineering show - highly recommended - excellent tea and homemade cakes - very friendly and helpful staff - very well organised . . . :) :)

Brilliant day out, so much to see, friendly staff. We'll worth a visit.

Very interesting museum. Showed around by the owner Rowan.Fascinating

Just been to a steam day ( first Sunday of every month). Very informative talk and great to see the engines running. Really enjoy this museum.

A lovely afternoon at this wonderful museum. The guided tour is excellent. Great to see so nany steam engines running

An excellent collection. Staff keen and ery knowledgeable. An amazing collection and very well worth going. Has retained charm of a good little rural museum. Plenty parking and location well signposted

What an absolute delight to visit if you love industrial history. I visited expecting to be there for an hour, and was there for three. The first Sunday of the month the engines are in steam, and I mean that 9 or 10 of the steam engines were started, not just one or two like at other museums. Three of the engines are the size of a small house and three others nearly as large. Most of the large engines are historically significant in some way, and in particular the tower bridge steam engine. Toilets were modern and clean and there was a great cafe. All the volunteers were enthusiastic. The only thing that baffles me is why this museum isn't better known, maybe its because it is anonymously tucked away in a tiny Norfolk village rather than a big town? Highly recommended.

A great surprise in rural Norfolk featuring among other engines, the one that used to open tower bridge.
