If
you missed seeing my post of the old vehicles from the Blessingbourne Carriage
Museum on Monday, CLICK HERE. Now I will show you the rest of the museum items I photographed. I wonder how many you remember?
I
found this museum fascinating as it evoked memories of by-gone days. Some of the items I remember from staying with
my grand parents. I hope, for those of
you who are old enough, it has brought back happy momeries for you too.
Believe it or not, they have another museum with items that need to be restored but one such item is an UN
helicopter! I am hoping to go back in the autumn to photograph the lake with the beautiful autmn colours reflected in the water and I will do another post about that museum then.
Many thanks for your visit and also for all the comments you leave.
It's always interesting to see old stuff. I love the typewriters.
ReplyDeleteI do love museums - and this is a stunner. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, what a lovely exhibit of antiques. I like the old bicycles and the cute stuffed animals. The piano looks like one my grandmother had. Thanks for sharing your tour! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful museum Margaret and so many interesting objects. My mother used to have a mangle!! I really don't know how they coped with washing in the days before washing machines!

ReplyDeleteAn amazing collection! We had one of the little blue/white/red tricycles!!! ...and of course I recall granny having a washing mangle - though not quite as large as that one... YAM xx
Oldies and goodies. I have some of those irons!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret... Love to see all these items from days gone by.
ReplyDeleteI can see my Grandmothers life through these things.
They treasured and took care of things. Today it is mostly a trough away world.
I bet wash day would be a nightmare if today's women had to use those wringers! : }

Wow - lots of fascinating things from bygone eras. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei like the cast iron pots. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the museum.
Thanks for this visit to the museum, it's like I walk around there.
The old bicycles, washing machine, the typewriter, I think it's all great.
Best regards, Irma
Wonderful treasures.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a gypsy wagon as seen in your Monday post.

A very impressive collection of images today.
ReplyDeleteMost museums in USA won't allow to photograph anything...you were lucky to be able to do so.
Love all these wonderful old artifacts! What a great museum they have there.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing old stuff in places like these. Wonderful images of times past.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, oldie but goldie. I love the old gramophone.
ReplyDeleteDelightful, Margaret. Such wonderful old antiques to bring back some memories, although many were way before my time. I did have a "girls" bicycle for sure. We have my husband's mother's wicker baby buggy and his dad's old wooden scooter.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting place. I confess to remembering a couple items.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your antique items here... especially like the tricycle. Funny how i used one of these when I was little, graduated up to the bicycle, and now think I am more back to the age of the tricycle. Especially since my biking accident breaking 5 ribs. Learned my lesson there. Fun shots Margaret. Also did not realize you had worked on one of the mercy ships in nursing. Would LOVE to hear more about that. How fascinating!
ReplyDeleteFun and interesting collection. Yes, I recognize a few. We have one of the irons on top of our cabinet. It was my husband's grandmother's iron.
ReplyDeleteSome interesting objects on display. The pram looks uncomfortable. I'd like to try out the Penny farthing too. I hope at some point (or did I miss the story) you tell us about the UN helicopter
