History
The museum, a Tudor-style house, was originally built in 1909 to be the home of William Haworth, a manufacturer of textiles. The house was designed by Walter Brierley (1862–1926), a York architect. It was bequeathed to the people of Accrington in 1920 and stands in nine acres of parkland on the south side of Accrington Town Centre.
