Norwich Printing Museum is a rarity being one of the few remaining working printing museums in the UK. The museum was born from a collection of printing machinery, type, and bindery equipment from the early days of Jarrold & Sons Ltd., which was first established in Suffolk in 1815. The fully working Historic Printing House opened at the Blickling Estate in July 2021. This has two aims: to exhibit part of the museum’s unique collection of printing machinery and artefacts; and to pass on the traditional skills of the compositor, printer, and bookbinder through regular demonstrations and specialist courses. The Printing Museum features many of the items from the collection with craftsmen and women demonstrating historic printing industry techniques and explaining the history of the development of print.
