While the museum is closed, visitors to the museum’s website can rummage around in this 360° version of a magistrates courtroom online. It’s a clever way of encouraging people to step into a historic space when we still can’t go to museums, given the public health situation at the moment. Take a look around the various hotspots with explanations of what’s what.

The courtroom set up hasn’t always been here at the museum. It was moved here in 2004 from Denton Police Station – fixtures, fittings and even the doors and stained glass windows.
