Blackridge Community Museum & The Collection

A community museum housed in the stable block of an old coaching inn. Open during library times, the museum relates the story of Blackridge’s coaching and travelling past. An exhibition on the history of the village with objects donated by local people is regularly shown, interspersed with displays from West Lothian Council’s touring exhibition program.

The Blackridge collection is a small collection of photographs and industrial, social and domestic objects illustrating life in Blackridge. It also features a small archive of material relating to the life of Sir Peter Matthews, a native of Blackridge, who became chief constable of Surrey.
