Museum Of Memories
New for 2018! The ultimate trip down memory lane.
The Museum of Memories features thousands of items to transport visitors back to their childhood on a trail of discovery, through toys, sweets, breakfast cereals, memorable television programmes, seaside trips and more...
Museum Of Memories
By following the journey of our vibrant social history, it’s possible to see the origins of Britain’s consumer society, the changes in taste and tempo, the whims of style and fashion, the advents of aviation, the gradual emancipation of women and the disappearance of the domestic servant.
£3.00
This exhibition has been created from those things normally thrown away, such as magazines, sweet wrappers, advertising posters, postcards, radios and breakfast cereal packs. These are remarkable survivors from the past, and when displayed together, they conjure up a rich tapestry of the British way of life.
From Spangles, Dan Dare and ration books to Watneys Party Seven, Rock'n'Roll and the Spice Girls, this time machine will revive powerful memories of days gone by, as well as vividly conjuring up the lifestyle and culture of visitors’ parents' and grandparents' worlds.
Starting in Victorian times, this journey through 150 years of British history is laid out decade by decade. Tracing the arrival of favourite brands like Cadbury, Kellogg's and Colgate, it captures the genius of toys such as Meccano, Hornby and Monopoly, the evolution of travel and the way that cinema and radio has transformed entertainment.
It’s a fascinating journey that takes you from Victorian times right up to the present day.

Essential Companions Card
Our card enables a disabled guest to receive a complimentary entrance to the Grand Pier for someone to accompany them when they visit our attraction.
The Card is also a way for the Grand Pier to make sure it looks after disabled guests. If you require an adjustment to visit us because of your disability, our team should make them for you whether you have an Essential Companion card or not.
If you have questions about the card and how it works please contact us.
To apply, the person requiring assistance must be 8 years of age or older.
Just show the card when you arrive, and your carer(s) or companion(s) won’t need to pay an entry fee.
It’s in your name so you can bring whomever you like, but even if you don’t have an Essential Companion card, when you arrive you can collect the paperwork to get started.
An Essential Companion must be over 14 years of age and capable of assisting the guest with the disability. The Essential Companion would be expected to understand the disabled person’s condition and assist them in managing it for the duration of the visit. For example, if the disabled person finds communication difficult due to a diagnosed medical condition, the helper would be expected to take responsibility for ensuring the disabled person is aware of relevant safety information displayed on any signage or communications on our public address system.
Eligibility
You will need to provide evidence that the card holder receives one of the following:
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Attendance Allowance (AA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
- Blind Persons Registration
You will need to bring a copy of the awarding letter from DWP or a statement confirming receipt of the allowance for the person requiring assistance (the card holder).
This should be dated within the last 12 months.
Alternatively, if you are a Registered Blind Person then please bring a photocopy of certification for the person requiring assistance (the card holder). Please note that ESA (Employment and Support Allowance) or the Blue Badge on its own are not accepted as proof of eligibility
