Unlock History Through Art: Colne Valley Museum’s New Colouring Book on Weaving Heritage

The Colne Valley Museum is bringing history to life with a stunning new colouring book that pays homage to the rich weaving traditions of the region. This captivating publication celebrates the artistry and hard work of Victorian families who wove stories of resilience into every thread.

A Creative Tribute by Jane Horton

Renowned artist and illustrator Jane Horton has masterfully crafted this 32-page A4 colouring book. Her intricate line drawings, created for the Colne Valley Museum, depict Victorian families spinning wool, bustling domestic scenes, and treasured museum artefacts. Each illustration is paired with fascinating historical facts, providing a vivid glimpse into life during those times.

This isn’t just a colouring book—it’s a journey through history, designed for both children and adults. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a history lover, or someone looking for a meaningful Christmas gift, this £5 gem, found at Colne Valley Museum shop, is sure to delight. Available now at the Colne Valley Museum shop, it’s already becoming a bestseller!

The Story Behind the Pages

Jane Horton’s passion for history and art led her to approach the Colne Valley Museum in Golcar with the idea for this book. Over the course of a year, she painstakingly researched, gathered images, and transformed them into detailed line drawings. Her dedication shines through every page and brings a piece of Colne Valley’s past to life.

This project marks Jane’s second venture into historical colouring books. Her first, created for Sheffield’s General Cemetery Trust, received widespread acclaim. She’s currently working on a third book, inspired by the beauty of flowers.
