I absolutely love these little museums that are hidden away in the corner of town centres. The gentleman running it was just that, a gentleman, and there are loads of of interesting displays on show. My personal favourite was the owestry unearthed display and the world record collection of ear horns.

Quirky assortment of displays relating to area ! Interesting owner/curator , willing to talk and impart his knowledge which seemed to be very wide ! Went outside to the market which was open for a drink . Worth a visit just to see the hearing horns /aids , eye opening .
