This child’s penny farthing will be heading in for conservation before going on display in the museum.
It’s in remarkable condition considering it’s been in a shed for decades!
Been working on some new displays these past few weeks. Including adding a new display cabinet and cataloging some new items in the collection.
It’s all go here!
Apologies for the lack of posts over the last few months, I’ve been busy with my personal life. I will try and post more frequently.
So as April is around the corner and new displays will be unveiled. Stay tuned!
Apologies again for not being very active on this account lately but I’m going to try and be more active by posting photos of some my collection soon.

Apologies for not being very active on here recently. Personal life has taken a priority. I will hopefully begin posting more when I feel more with it.
Many thanks.
Tom.
The first new display is one celebrating Bridgwater Carnival.

The reason why I’ve been very quiet over the last few months is that I’ve moved the collection into the spare room. It’s given me so much more space to display the collection and also the collection is dry. Means I no longer have to worry about the collection getting damaged!
