Judges Lodgings Museum, 15 Castle Hill, Lancaster, LA1 1YS
From 1826 until 1975, the building became the Judges Lodgings, used as the residence of visiting Assize Judges. Now it is open to the public as home to two museums.

The other is the nationally acclaimed Museum of Childhood, with a reconstructed classroom, where today's children (and their parents) can experience a very different kind of education and discipline to that of today.
