Pic heavy
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
Definatly recommended to anyone in this area to spend a couple of hours, well worth a look around
More information of the museum can be found here at their website: http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/
Anyway some pics I took that day:
A tug boat built locally that returned to it's home town and now sits in the carpark, history of the boat can be found here: http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/news/newspat.htm
Steam engine also located in car park
Good history of telephones in here as well, they are all working and your even allowed to play with them
Victorian street scene recreated, complete with shops and bar
Fully restored and working 9 HP engine
Priestman Hub drag line crane
Yard full of old farm machinery and implements from Wolverton railway works
Fully restored body of local tram that used to run between Wolverton and Stony Stratford
Yellow GPO Bedford truck
Most odd find, BT phone truck

I think the phone belonged to Gulliver
