I visited earlier this year and took a bunch of stuff to donate - that got me in for free. I can hope that some of the accumulated retro-dross of a lifetime will be of interest to someone visiting.

Better tell my husband about this one, he being the family geek. For all of which I remember learning to programme, in Fortran, using punch cards!

Thanks for posting this, I had no idea this place existed and certainly intend to visit. I've been to Bletchley Park and the National Museum of Computing on the same site and remember the lab of BBC Computers that reminded me of my school days. I count myself lucky I got do the curriculum that included programming rather than just "how to use Word and Excel". Looks like a great place to visit.

The museum no doubt houses some prime examples of the computing age. The real shame though is what has happened to the countless (millions?) of other no longer wanted computer hardware...dumped far away in(third world) "landfills".

Totally off-topic. But...

+1 for Jon. I was just about to write that this sounds just like a couple of rooms at Bletchley Park. Happy, happy memories of an 80s childhood and my ZX-81.

*sigh*

I'm planning to visit next month for the fifth time! Every time I visit there seem to be new displays up :-)

If you leave the station through the car park it's only about a 20 minute walk (or a 12 minute run!).

Have you been to the computer museums in Swindon and Leicester yet?
