Cheshire's Museum of policing opens its doors to the public this August

Visitors are being invited to take a tour through the ages as The Museum of Policing hosts a number of open days throughout August.

The Museum, found on Arpley Street, Warrington, is home to a huge collection of historical police artefacts, including handcuffs and shackles, murder weapons and police equipment that have been preserved from local police stations throughout Cheshire.

The famed Victorian cell within the museum also gives visitors the chance to experience life behind bars and is always a talking point throughout the day.

There's no need to book, you can just drop in, free of charge, between 10am and 3pm on 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th August.

The free open days will give visitors the opportunity to find out more about policing in the Warrington and Cheshire area.

There is also a souvenir shop so you can take away a memento of your visit.

Museum manager Peter Hampson said: "Don't miss the chance to visit our museum. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised at the immersive displays and the history surrounding your local police force.

"We decided to open due to the many requests we get during the school holidays, so come along and find more about your local police force."

The museum is an independent charity run by volunteers in co-operation with Cheshire Constabulary to allow members of the public the chance to explore the history of policing within the region.

For more information about the museum, which is funded through public donations, you can visit the Museum of Policing website or call 01606 365803.
