Very interesting and informative didn't realise just how clever the victorians were
We'd gone into town for a haircut, but the only barbers open on Sunday had a long queue, so we decided to go shopping... As we passed Romsey Signal Box Museum, we saw it was open and my 4 year old suggested we go in. Despite living in Romsey for 25 years I'd never visited. It waa great, the volunteers were very attentive and knowledgeable. There was plenty of things for a 4 year old to pull and push!
Had a great time here on the weekend. A great small site held together by friendly volunteers. Even though they were having some technical difficulties with one of their attractions the young lad Charlie still showed us through it all manually. He talked us through each element with amazing knowledge making it even more interesting. He then did the hands on demonstration in the old signal box pulling all the leavers and interacting with the group with questions and getting people up to have a go themselves. So if you're ever in the area, for only a few pounds a ticket, make sure you visit and meet the volunteers and learn a bit of local history.
Looks a great place to visit, unfortunately it was shut so could only take pictures for outside.
We had never been into a signal box before, it was really interesting to discover what needed to be done back in the day. A nice cafe with great volunteers all very enthusiastic & know there stuff.
This is a great little museum, run by passionate members of the community with guided talks and loads of info. Little cafe does basic amenities
