Every town has its unique history and contribution to the modern society today. In High Wycombe it is the Windsor chair, where it was heavily manufactured during the late 19th century.
The chairs are showcased in a large converted house, alongside historical facts of the town with photos, maps and video footage but what is most interesting about the building is that it is made entirely from flint, giving it a distinctive colour and appearance.
Although the place is not big, it provides a different experience to the more popular museums around London, as I believe more credit should be given to the smaller museums featuring the town's best attributes.
I would recommend anyone who was interested in furniture to visit the museum as it is definately a unique and relaxing visit, to find out how chairs were such a big industry in the area.
