Located in the beautiful Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water, the Cotswold Motoring Museum is a fascinating journey through the 20th Century.

Though the main focus is on motoring, the Museum is full of the everyday paraphernalia that made motoring so popular including picnic sets from the 1920s, alongside caravans, radio sets, gramophones and knitted swimsuits.

Throughout the Museum there are showcases packed with memorabilia. Can you imagine a car alarm that fills the car with smoke? A mechanical hand used for indicating? All these items are enveloped in an atmosphere of the era created by hundreds of advertising signs and music of the time.

It's many years since I visited this. In fact pre-"Brum" TV days. I recognised Brum as a Cotswold Museum exhibit as soon as I saw it on TV.

I still rate the Museum as the most fascinating collection of vehicles and motorabilia I have ever visited. By no means a "spit and polish collection" with many vehicles in the condition they must have been in when in regular use and as I remember them on the road in my youth. so many other things from by-gone ages too!

Well worth an effort to visit!! It is on my agenda "to do" again.

Jim (no connection whatsoever with the Museum - just a fan).

By the way, there is/was a Model Bourton-in-the-Water Village behind the pub. The model pub has a model village, which has a pub with a model village which has .................. That's worth looking at too if it is still there.
