Tolson Museum

The Tolson Museum is a museum in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. The museum is housed in Ravensknowle, a Victorian mansion in Knowle Park on Wakefield Road that was given to the town in memory of two brothers killed in World War I. Originally a natural history museum, it is run by Kirklees Council and has a wide range of exhibits related to the area's cultural and industrial history.
==History==
Ravensknowle was built in the late-1850s for a local textile baron, John Beaumont. The house was designed by the London architect, Richard Tress who designed the mansion in a "palatial Italian style" and cost about £20,000. Beaumont died in 1899 leaving the house to his daughter who sold it to a relative, Legh Tolson.
In 1919 Legh Tolson gave Ravensknowle Hall to Huddersfield Corporation to use as a museum in memory of his two nephews, brothers 2nd Lieutenant Robert Huntriss Tolson, killed on 1 July 1916 at the Battle of the Somme, and 2nd Lieutenant James Martin Tolson who died in the closing stages of World War I on 2 October 1918. The museum was formally opened on 27 May 1922.
Originally a natural history museum with an extensive collection of rocks and fossils Tolson Museum was revamped from the 1980s to feature the industrial history of the Huddersfield area, including the manufacturing of textiles and road vehicles.
