Forge Mill Needle Museum.

The Forge Mill Needle Museum in Redditch, Worcestershire, is a historic museum depicting Redditch's Industrial Heritage.

Models and recreated scenes provide a vivid illustration of how needles were once made, and the museaum organises many exhibitions, demonstration, and workshops on how needles were used in the texile industry.
