We hate 2020!

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

Anonymous reminiscence

The visitor also told me that he and a nearby lady neighbour had also worked at the Vickers site in the early 1950’s at a time when large numbers of the employees were contracted to undertake work on soldering electrical connectors and making wiring and cable looms to be used in the pioneering LEO computer developed by J. Lyons and company. Having originally been conceived to help with catering and bakery production for J. Lyons, in later years variants of the LEO design were also contracted to the Ministry of Defence to assist with missile and war head trajectories.
