Pumphouse Educational Museum: Permanent Hands-on Exhibition at Pumphouse Educational Museum, Rotherhithe

The first floor has a permanent hands-on exhibition of everyday artefacts from twentieth century homes and the Victorian era through to present day. Used by children to understand the past and by visitors simply to recall those childhood memories the exhibition allows different generations to recall and compare everyday objects. A Blitz Room is another permanent display to show home life during the war years. The 1950's display has a working jukebox with authentic records from that era, household objects and kitchenalia, documents and ephemera. The second floor houses the six foot replica of Queen Elizabeth's wedding cake, designed and iced at Peek Freans, Bermondsey, once the employer of many Rotherhithe residents. It is hoped to obtain a grant to display other items from this lost industry of Southwark.
