Whiteways Cyder

Whimple was the home of the main Whiteway's cyder factory for almost one hundred years from 1891. 

​

The Heritage Centre has a gallery dedicated to Whiteway's which reflects the important contribution this company made in shaping the village though that period of history.   This gallery is full of Whiteway's related artefacts and memorabilia that celebrate this iconic brand of the 19th & 20th centuries.  It is probably the largest collection of Whiteway's items in the world.
