   Filey Museum, Filey Museum is in Queen Street, in the old part of the town, away from the shopping areas and near to the 12th century St Oswald’s Church. The museum buildings themselves date from the 17th century, one having been a fisherman’s cottage and the other a farm cottage. The buildings were saved from demolition in the late 1960s and first opened to the public as a local history museum in 1971. The buildings are Grade II listed.

The museum is divided into 8 rooms, each dedicated to a specific subject matter, but all linked to Filey's history, local history & customs, and a small garden.
