Fireworks Museum

Welcome to our on-line museum. We have put together a series of images representing over seventy years of British firework history for you to enjoy. This will be updated on a regular basis.

Firework enthusiasts will recall some of the great names of the past, many of which have disappeared into the mists of time. Brocks, Wilders, Lion and Wells are just a few of the UK manufacturers who provided enjoyment for our parents and grandparents in their youth.

Visitors to Jubilee Fireworks can see an extensive range of historical fireworks, posters and advertising material in our special showroom. For those of you who are unable to make the trip, we hope that you will enjoy visiting this 'virtual museum'.
