It's really cool for anyone interested in this kind of history or just gadgets in general. Our 9 year old loved it, as he got to touch lots of the old communication devices, and my parents loved it too. It's pretty casual, the guides are nice and knowledgeable, and it's convenient to get to.

Small, quite niche, but a fun, quirky little bit of local history. Staffed by some lovely volunteers.

Very interesting old communication equipment. Highlights how much communication technology has progressed during the latter part of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty first century.
