On 12 October 2023, we invited 75 babies to an exclusive preview of our replica of Lea Road Infant Welfare Centre, originally located in Wolverhampton. 75 was chosen as 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of both the arrival of MV Empire Windrush and the formation of the National Health Service. The babbies, from across all four regions of the Black Country, were invited along to explore the new building and meet our historic characters.

Designated by Arts Council England for the quality and national significance of its collections, it attracted over 300,000 visitors in 2022. Visitors can experience sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the Black Country as they explore shops, houses and industrial workshops rebuilt in the Museum’s canalside village. From the Industrial Revolution to post-war prosperity, they will discover the history of a small region that made a big impact on the people, culture and industry of the world by meeting historical characters that bring back to life the people that made this place home, from metalworkers and miners to nurses and schoolteachers – and even a pub landlord or two.
