timbo Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) A good museum actually. Not much in the way of vehicles but the armoured elephant is quite a spectacle! Of course it's not in London so how long it stays free (or even open) is a moot point. Last time I went there was a fella moored in the dock outside who had converted his narrowboat into a replica u boat and filled it with u boat memorabilia - very interesting! At the time the council or British Waterways or someone were trying to depth charge him so probably long gone Edited November 12, 2013 by timbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
