This unusual museum specialises in the history and development of Northumbrian small pipes and their music. They are set in the context of bagpipes around the world - from India to Inverness. An ingenious sound system brings the pipes to life - each visitor may listen to the music through personal headphones and learn the difference between a rant and a reel.
An excellent selection of recorded and sheet music on sale and parent's pack gifts are also available. In the middle ages a bridge was of vital importance to the guildsmen of the town. Tolls had to be collected for its maintenance and since religious services were also in demand, a chapel would be built nearby.
