Well fellow friends, the museum has, at last, joined the realm of Twitter @wythall_museum. So I think we'll let this link fade away and leave them to update you on all the latest news. Thanks for being here, cheerio for now.

Ooopppps....where did that come from? The museum has about THIRTY battery electric milk floats, bread vans and post vans.

About 90 of them in fact. Dating back to the 30's. Incidentally, I noticed a @milk_and_more electric van delivering down our road at about 3 a.m. recently (don't ask!). wythall.org.uk/elec.asp

Hello everyone. The trustees are drawing up a schedule of events for 2021 on the same basis as last year. Saturdays, Wednesdays in school holidays (!) and full running days at Bank Holidays. Only time will tell what can go ahead. Hopefully from 27 March.

Well that's it folks! The public season has ended. Thanks to everyone who visited, to guest buses and to all the volunteers who got the place up and running. Restoration will continue through the winter and the museum will open again next March (hopefully).

Thee museum will now be open for one final day on Saturday 31st. Pre-booking recommended at wythall.org.uk
