CouncilThe Ragged School Museum
The Museum was opened in 1990 in three canal side warehouses in Copperfield Road, East London. These buildings were previously used by Dr Barnardo to house the largest ragged school in London. Now a local history museum for the East End, comprising a permanent collection, temporary exhibitions, Victorian school lessons, family and community learning programmes, holiday activities and volunteer training opportunities.
The Museum runs a variety of different activities for all ages. These include workshops, history talks, treasure hunts and canal walks. These are open to all.
