Gloucester Waterways Museum.
Gloucester Waterways Museum is housed in a Victorian warehouse at Gloucester Docks in the city of Gloucester, England. It is located along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and River Severn. It is one of several museums and attractions operated by the Canal & River Trust, the successor to The Waterways Trust.
The museum opened in 1988, it was formerly known as the National Waterways Museum, Gloucester, one of three museums operated by The Waterways Trust that focused on the history of canals in Britain. The museum went through extensive refurbishments between 2007 and 2008, adding new galleries. In the Summer of 2010 the Gloucester site was renamed the Gloucester Waterways Museum, focussing on the local area and meaning that they could apply for funding differently to a national museum.
The museum features a collection of boats including narrowboats, river barges, canal and river tugs, and a steam-powered dredger. There is also a steam crane and heavy oil engine in the setting of a canal repair yard, complete with working machine shop, forge and weighbridge, and a hydraulic accumulator. The museum uses modern interactive techniques and hands on exhibits, which includes a model of canal.
The Gloucester Waterways Museum is part of Llanthony Warehouse, Gloucester, build in 1873. Designed by Capel N Tripp, it is six storeys high, built of red bricks, with a slate roof. The warehouse would have been used for timber, grain and alcohol. The building was designated Grade II listed status on 14 December 1971 and was converted to become the National Waterways Museum in 1987.

National Waterways Museum Introduction
An introduction to what you can see and do at the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port near Liverpool, UK.
Gloucester dock area and the city walk round August 2019, Gloucestershire. England. (10 )
On the 25th May 2019 I had booked a coach trip to visit Gloucester Tall Ships to be held in Gloucester Docks, a wonderful part of this City’s old and historic part. Gloucester use to be part of the old Mercia Region of Great Britain. Gloucester is a city and district in the county of Gloucestershire it lies in the South West of England, of which it is the county town. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest. The country's most inland port has seen a regeneration program in the last decade, more visibly at the city's historic docks. It was in 1963 when I visited this beautiful City while I was in the Royal Navy and stayed with my best friend at the time we visited Cookes Cafe in Westgate Street with all his friends.
Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum, Custom House the Docks, 31 Commercial road, Gloucester GL1 2HE. I returned to this area of Gloucester on another visit on the 2nd August 2019. It was certainly less busy after my visit on the 25th May 2019 when the Tall Ships event was in full swing. This museum’s staff were very courteous and helpful. They had a small cafe area outside the Museum itself with tables outside which was pleasant enough on this very hot and sunny day. It was a bit hot inside under the glassed area. Inside the Museum itself were arranged in small rooms too small really to be able to take decent photos and videos. But that’s how it was it was an old warehouse and they made best use of what they had. The displays were arranged with thought for what was not really a very large museum but was certainly worth the money of Senior Citizen rate of £4.00. I thought this was a fair price to pay for what was on display. There were a number of floors to wander around on and it was well documented as you took the time to stroll around, for those that liked to read the history of the display settings.
National Waterways Museum Gloucester, Llanthony Warehouse, Gloucester GL1 2EH. I visited this Museum on Friday the 2nd August 2019. It looked impressive from the outside. Even Reception looked welcoming. Then the facia was laid open. The staff on reception were ok they explained the tickets purchased were for a whole years return visit. I would not want ( at the moment ) any return visit to this boring and hotch potch museum. I was told there were three floors of exhibits. But the second floor could only be visited by using the lift the stairs were being repaired. Fair enough you might add. But when you got to the second floor. There was nothing really worth seeing. Mainly items for kids to play on, which in itself was ok if there was enough to see otherwise. There was not. It was very disappointing what was there to see on this floor. The first two floors were ok but when you stood back and looked around there was not that much to really occupy you spending much time here. I can understand they may well be still putting together this museum. But the charge of £7.50 was way too high for what was on display at that time. It was really a total let down for me after the effort to return to this beautiful part of Gloucester docks and Quays. It was refreshing to be able to walk round after my visit on the 25th May 2019 while the Tall Ships display was on. This part of Gloucester is worth the visit on its own though and this museum is situated in a beautiful area of the Gloucester Docks.
Finally ending up at a newly acquired cafe called Brimbles Cafe in Westgate Street near St Nicholas' Church end and directly opposite the Gloucester Town Hall. This was a lovely little cafe that served great snacks and the staff were equally great. There was a very attractive floral display you could sit enclosed in to enjoy your coffee.

Gloucester is a city and district in southwest England, the county city of Gloucestershire. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest.
Gloucester was founded in AD 97 by the Romans under Emperor Nerva as Colonia Glevum Nervensis, and was granted its first charter in 1155 by King Henry II. Economically, the city is dominated by the service industries, and has a strong financial and business sector, and historically was prominent in the aerospace industry.
Gloucester is located on the eastern bank of the River Severn, sheltered by the Cotswolds to the east, while the Forest of Dean and the Malvern Hills rise to the west and north, respectively. Gloucester is a port, linked via the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal which runs from Gloucester's docks to the Severn Estuary, allowing larger ships to reach the docks than would be possible on the tidal reaches of the river itself, which go well north of the city to Haw Bridge. The wharfs, warehouses and the docks themselves fell into disrepair until their renovation in the 1980s. They now form a public open space. Some warehouses now house the Gloucester Waterways Museum, others were converted into residential flats, shops and bars. Additionally, the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum is located in the Custom House. Next to the museum is Gloucester Yacht Club. The port still houses the most inland RNLI lifeboat in the United Kingdom.
Gloucester is made up of a variety of neighbourhoods, some of which correspond to electoral divisions of the City Council.

Gloucester is served by the M5 motorway, which runs to the east of the city. Until the construction of the Severn Bridge in 1966, Gloucester was the lowest bridging point on the river and hence was an important settlement on the route between London and South Wales. Gloucester railway station has frequent trains to London Paddington, Reading, Bristol, Cardiff Central, Nottingham and Birmingham.

Gloucester Waterways Museum's plans for barge Sabrina 5
Sabrina 5 is a barge, built in 1944, for the Ministry of War Transport, to move a variety of cargoes. She is rather a young exhibit in Gloucester Waterways Museum's collection, but is very important to the Canal & River Trust. She is part of the National Historic Fleet, putting her in the same league as the Cutty Sark and HMS Victory. Sabrina 5 was one of six boats, made for the purpose of carrying imports on the Severn and the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal. She relied on a tug because she has no engine. Her large hold took 130-150 tonnes of goods, principally metals and foodstuffs.
Sabrina 5 has lost her original purpose, but through careful design we intend to give her a new lease of life if we are successful with our second round bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund .
Her hold is a good size, so we intend making her a useful space for events and learning. Access is going to be a challenge and we will seek advice and guidance from a number of sources.
