yesterday I visited a Family owned London museum which specialises in All things British retro, & Vintage. This includes Cars, Bikes, Motorbikes, Toys, Cameras, Electronics, Uniforms.. you name it if you wanna donate a retro item to this museum they will not turn you away.
They have made the whole 4 floor museum like a Warehouse ..it had originally been a Pumping station, and so to tie in with the retro theme they've pretty much left it as it was... . They've done the same with the Donated Vintage items. They've not retouched them, or made them different to how they originally were, so everything you see , cracks, marks, everything is as it originally came to them... and how you might have seen them back in the day
the only exception is that they ensure that all the vintage cars are kept clean and polished..
They also have an outside courtyard which they've made into a replica London Motor vehicle repairs and workshop alley so to speak.
Much of these items were around when I was a kid... so unlike the London Museums they are things I experienced a s a child... and was fascinated to see them once again 6 decades later...
As the museum is an Eclectic mix of retro and vintage items..I will just post them in no particular order.. enjoy
