Default Re: Museums

The British Horological Institute museum in Upton between Southwell and Newark in Nottinghamshire is well worth a visit if you are at all interested in clocks,watches and timepieces generally. They have an early Speaking Clock machine and the pocket watch that Scott took to the Antarctic, among hundreds of other exhibits. Open in summer on Fridays plus a couple of other days in the year so best to check (www.bhi.co.uk) before setting off.
Declaration of interest - my daughter is the Collections Officer.
