About Us | Virtual Tour | Photo Gallery | Education | Events | Visitor Info | News | Contact PRINT SHOP The large Victorian printing press in full working order, takes pride of place. This magnificent Columbian Press, built in 1854 is an efficient hand operated machine with highly ornamental cast iron refinements of an eagle with outstretched wings, serpents, scrolls and a descriptive brass plate. Posters, placards and large notices displayed in this room have been printed on this press, whilst cards, leaflets etc. were printed on one of the smaller hand fed Platen machines. Around the room stand compositor's frames containing cases of type, mostly Victorian 'Faces'. Adorning the walls are posters proclaiming local events, including celebrations for the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
