Colne Valley Museum: Stunning images show demonstations of historic crafts at Yorkshire museum

These images show an insight into the work which went into creating, fixing and restoring items in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Colne Valley Museum is a window into Victorian and Edwardian industrial heritage.

Most weekends they hold clog making and weaving demonstrations.

The weavers are on hand to explain how the looms work, what they are working on and how life as a loom weaver would be.

In the Edwardian Clog Makers shop visitors can learn about the history of clogs and Golcar's long history of clog making.

We sent The Yorkshire Post photographer Simon Hulme along to the demonstrations this weekend to capture what was going on.

Take a look through his images below.
