Collection history (Collection development policy)
The North End Trust was established in 1989 by Patricia Midgley who undertook the task of building a collection in order to open a Museum. In 1991, the Museum opened. A Research Centre was added and opened in 2004. It was renamed in her honour in 2014.

Collection overview (Collection development policy)
The collections consist of buildings, a fishing boat, artefacts and archives. The main buildings are the cottages, the smokehouse, the smithy (housing a collection based on fishing and sailing) and the collection of buildings that make up the other part of the museum where artefacts and the research centre are housed. Another important part of the museum is the restored fishing boat “The Activity”. This is situated in the Yard opposite the cottages. We hold the archives for Eastern Inshore Fisheries, which is an ongoing project to hold all their archives.
