Introduction to the Museum

The museum collections are focused on the Great Western Railway and the social history of the town.

 

GWR Room

The working signal box takes pride of place within the GWR Room, a hands-on connection with the great days of the Great Western Railway. An audio system enables you to hear ex-GWR men talking about their lives as railwaymen. Fry-ups and tales of snowstorms await you!
