Droitwich Heritage Centre 1.33

The Droitwich Spa Salt Museum is housed in St. Richard’s House, a black and white building dating from the 1930’s. The Salt Museum’s unique permanent exhibition is devoted to the town’s long and fascinating history from pre-Roman times to present day. Droitwich Spa brine exists far below the ground and emanated at the surface as springs. The brine is so salty that the Dead Sea is the only other natural source of salt water able to equal its strength and density.

The Museum is also home to the Droitwich Calling exhibition which brings alive the history of radio and explains how a radio station made Droitwich famous and why Droitwich was chosen as the site for a high powered transmitter.

The centre also houses The tourist information centre. It has a broad range of brochures and leaflets available and is staffed by helpful and very knowledgeable individuals on standby ready to answer any enquirers you may have.
