Maidenhead Heritage Centre

Finalmente fomos visitar o Maidenhead Heritage Centre. E é mesmo como dizem“a little gem”. Gostei e vou voltar sem dúvida pois ficou muito por ver. Fotos, videos, muita história e uma senhora Maidonian muito simpatica que sabia tudo sobre a zona, E quando o natal estiver a chegar vou lá comprar prendinhas de Maidenhead :)

Lovely place to visit with so much to see and learn. And we can always count with the help of the Maidonian lady in reception that knows all about the town history :) Loved the pictures and can´t wait to do another visit!

A Great Little Museum
Maidenhead Heritage Centre, described by one visitor as “a little gem”, is just the place to explore this town’s history, which stretches from before the Romans to Vanwall racing cars, aeroplanes, Hammer Horror films and scandals at Cliveden. The town grew up when the first bridge was built across the Thames in 1250 and became a Victorian boom town when the Great Western Railway opened. The permanent “Story of Maidenhead” exhibition is being improved all the time and is supplemented by temporary exhibitions. On the first floor of the museum is Grandma Flew Spitfires, our Exhibition and Archive dedicated to Air Transport Auxiliary, with its fabulous Spitfire simulator
