I think it's the same one - used to be at Byard's Leap, as you say, near Cranwell.Is that the one near Cranwell, I thought it had closed?
Thanks, I pass it every now and then for work so I'll keep an eye out.It's not open all year round - it has about a six month season each year. It reopens on 25 March this year.
Hey! Unlike, Unlike! Leave Milestones alone!Basingstoke is well known for its redevelopment of the town centre in the 60s where they knocked down most of the town and built a horrid concrete mess.
The council is always dreaming up half-baked ideas on how to spend our money and decided we needed a museum. Not much really happened of note in Basingstoke (Produced steam engines, Barbour jackets and Liz Hurley) but this did not stop them building a vast hanger of a building with not much in mind to put in it?
They had some old steam engines and lorries kicking around and so made an old street scene centre rather like the one they knocked down which is somewhere between an am-dram stage set and Trumpton.
15 miles up the road is Winchester - with real old street scenes.
I last went there in 1983, I think, and it has changed building etc since, but the Northampton Shoe Museum (Collection, whatever) is brilliant!!!!!!

Hey! Unlike, Unlike! Leave Milestones alone!
I remember going past on the train while it was being built and wondering what the hell they were doing. I used to enjoy the odd visit when Bolletta was little; she used to laugh like a drain at the chap in the toilet. I've heard rumours that like many similar places it's in some financial trouble, despite trying to diversify by hosting events.
And don't worry, the good burghers of Winchester are doing all they can to feck up our partially lovely city centre.
