Do they have a waxwork model of tony? I bet topcat is curled up by his feet.lol

 

[mickys86]

It was quite interesting. Learned a few things there as well

Some good stuff there

The only negative point I can think of is it being in Christchurch
Why would someone travel to New Zealand to go to a museum :yesnod:

Being 'just up the road' I've been meaning to go there for a while but they seem to be open funny times; 10-4 monday-friday during term times, may-August, weather permitting.
Last time I tried to visit they were closed because they had a power cut or something.

 

[mickys86]

Lucky I never had such problems....


I must admit, times are pretty random

I doubt Tony would allow a waxwork of himself to grace anywhere where the wiring system includes anything as vulgar as pvc conduit with pre-formed bends. They could at least have wired the electric museum in galvanised conduit, or better still MICC.

If you're into that sort of thing (which I am), there's a good electricity exhibition at Amberley
Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre near Arundel
although their website doesn't go into much detail about it.

Lots of other industrial history as well.
