Full of hidden surprises
Whitewebbs Museum of Transport的点评
点评：There’s certainly lots to see here and some of it quite surprising too considering it’s a transport museum.
The museum, which is run by volunteers, is in an old water pumping station and on the way in after admiring one of my favourite cars a Capri, we were asked if we would like to see their well. We said yes and we were lead downstairs by one of the volunteers.
We were surprised as the well that he showed us was just massive and is a piece of the buildings old infrastructure from when it was a pumping station that pumped water into the New River.
Also down there were a couple of artefacts as well as a 1940s room which reminded me of my Grandfather’s place in the 1970s, albeit without the shelter in it. The volunteer who took us down told us all about the history of the place and also told us all about the 1940s room.
Just from this beginning area of the museum we knew that we were in for a real treat.
There are four floors in total and contain all sorts of vintage cars (more vintage than my Capri), trucks, bicycles, motor bikes etc. as well as other things like cameras, toys, WW2 memorabilia like an old air raid siren and typewriters both of which children were enjoying using and many other items.
In the grounds there are other areas to see which contain old Fire engines, more cars, trucks and a train carriage which has a model railway in.
There is a café which was very good and even here there are things for you to read about as well as an old juke box which if you ask one of the volunteers will switch on.
This gem of a place really deserves to be better known and we had a very enjoyable visit here.
Note that it’s only open on Tuesdays and some Sundays – see their web site for details as on the Sundays they sometimes have special events.

翻译：这里确实有很多东西可看，而且考虑到这是一座交通博物馆，有些东西还相当令人惊讶。
博物馆由志愿者经营，位于一座古老的抽水站内，在参观完我最喜欢的一辆卡普里汽车后，我们被问到是否想看看他们的水井。我们说是的，然后一位志愿者带我们下了楼。
我们很惊讶，因为他给我们看的水井非常大，是这座建筑的旧基础设施的一部分，当时它还是一个将水抽入新河的抽水站。
楼下还有几件文物，以及一间 20 世纪 40 年代的房间，让我想起了我祖父在 20 世纪 70 年代的住所，尽管里面没有避难所。带我们下去的志愿者给我们讲了这个地方的历史，也讲了 20 世纪 40 年代的房间。
从博物馆的这个起始区域，我们就知道我们将享受真正的乐趣。
总共有四层楼，里面有各种老式汽车（比我的 Capri 还要复古）、卡车、自行车、摩托车等，还有其他东西，比如相机、玩具、二战纪念品，比如老式空袭警报器和打字机，孩子们都很喜欢使用，还有许多其他物品。
场地上还有其他区域可供参观，其中包括老式消防车、更多汽车、卡车和带有模型铁路的火车车厢。
这里有一家非常好的咖啡馆，甚至这里也有东西供您阅读，还有一个老式点唱机，如果您询问，其中一位志愿者会打开它。
这个宝地真的值得更多人知道，我们在这里度过了非常愉快的时光。
请注意，它只在周二和某些周日开放 - 请参阅他们的网站了解详情，因为周日他们有时会举办特别活动。
