Details
In the Printing Museum, which is in Cockermouth, you will find a collection of historical iron presses, housed in a 16th century building, starting with a display describing printing from the 15th century.
The oldest historical press is the 1820 Cogger Press, of which only three exist - the second is housed in the Science Museum in London and the third is privately owned. There is also a composing room, which shows how type was set by hand.
