Warley Town, a historic village in the Calder Valley, sits quietly on the outskirts of Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Situated in the centre of Warley village, at the Maypole Inn, the museum’s exhibits of local history artifacts and curiosities, donated by Warley residents, are changed every few months.
