We went to this museum in the summer and found it very interesting too. Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: Martin Ludgate To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 2:33 PM Subject: Re: [canals-list] The South Oxford Canal

One thing I don't think anyone's mentioned is the Bygones Museum at Claydon, about 15-20 mins walk from the canal. It contains a wonderfully quirky selection of exhibits representing a seemingly random assortment of dates and subjects. Part of the museum (which is set in what looks like a group of farm outbuildings) consists of re-creations of various shops and other premises including part of a boatyard workshop which might particularly interest people on this list, but what really made it for me was the sheer "Gosh I remember we had one of those when I was a kid but I'd forgotten all about it" factor of so much of the stuff they've got. -- Martin Ludgate [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
