Nomally closed Historic places of interest are open to visitors and other sites that normally charge are free.

Typical, one local one I fancied is fully booked.
Nice find though

We went to the former Birmingham Municipal Bank (opposite the new library) where we could go into the vault.

We also went to a water powered forge mill near Kidderminster preserved since it closed in the 70's that made spades, pitchforks and ladles etc.
