Amberley Museum (West Sussex) Historical Exhibition of Southern England's Crafts and Industry - 4K

The museum is home to country crafts, various industries and transport that were once commonly found in and around Sussex. The "Southdown Bus Garage" houses a collection of buses once operated by the company, some are available to ride when the museum is open to the public, others are being restored giving visitors an idea of just how much work is required to restore a rotten, dilapidated wreck back to a gleaming, as new bus. The print shop possesses a substantial collection of printing presses, some of which once produced local newspapers, flyers, posters and magazines. Youngsters can even set up a printing plate and print their name and a message. Greenwood Village is well worth visiting to see a variety of craftsmen and women making all sorts of items using locally sourced materials. The “Paviors Museum of Road Making” exhibition showcases some of the machines that were used to make our roads, along with the last generation of road signs and once familiar vehicles donated by local companies. There are two sites where stationary engines large and small can be seen, a selection of them are usually operating on days when the museum is open to the public. The “Electricity Hall” tells the story of electricity from the early days right up to 1960's and 70's. The basic principles for creating and harnessing electricity are explained using child friendly working exhibits, that will also appeal to curious adults. The modernisation of daily chores such as washing and cooking is demonstrated using early kitchen appliances through to the thoroughly modern housewife in her 1960's kitchen filled with all the latest gadgets. Dummy shop fronts exhibit many of the electrical appliances that could be purchased on the High street throughout the 1900's. There is a lot more to see on the site, the development of telecommunications is explained at “BT Connected Earth”, an Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway can be used to travel the length of the site, the “TV and Radio Exhibition” charts the development of home entertainment. A children's favourite is the “Pottery” where for a small fee they are given a ball of clay and a variety of tools to create their own masterpiece. The Museum is an open-air industrial heritage site located next to Amberley railway station between Pulborough and Arundel, West Sussex. The museum was founded in 1978 by the Southern Industrial History Centre, it is located within historic chalk quarries where chalk was extracted and processed for lime on site for more than 100 years and the museum still houses a number of its original lime kilns. Claim to fame - the museum was the scene for the climax of “A View to a Kill” Roger Moore’s 1985 swansong as 007, if you look carefully you will still see Zorin Industries painted on some of the tipper waggons.
