This museum is housed within the old pilchard factory on the northern side of the harbour. It has a large collection of photographs and other exhibits, particularly related to local folklore and the old fishing and smuggling industries that used to form the mainstay of the local economy. There are sections for genealogists; Dr Jonathon Couch, a local 19thcentury marine biologist; the photographs of Lewis Harding who lived in the village in the 19th century; and the restored Ryder lifeboat which is often moored beside the museum.
