Every year we have a new exhibition at the Museum to showcase our objects and the Town history. The 2025-2026 exhibition on the Botley to Bishop's Waltham Railway finally opened late, after the eviction of a lot of bees! This is our way of celebrating the 200th anniversary of the railway.

Come and learn about the difference it made to the town and people's lives, together with the fate of the railway after it closed (Dr Beeching was not involved).
