A little local unknown museum, run by volunteers located in Wolverton, Milton Keynes.
A nice little museum showing lots of local history of the industrial and rural past of Milton Keynes area:thumb
Definatly recommended to anyone in this area to spend a couple of hours, well worth a look around:D
More information of the museum can be found here at their website: http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/
Anyway some pics I took that day:
