Shortly after starting this blog
I was asked whether I had tried the loos in the Museum as they were reported as
being rather nice. To my shame I have to
admit that although I have lived in Weston for 2 years it was a place not yet
visited. A situation which had to be
rectified.
This afternoon seemed as good a
time as any – and what a very pleasant time was had. There is an entrance charge for the museum
itself but free entry is provided to the Palm Court Café and current exhibition
gallery. How lovely it was to be
transported back to the seaside of my childhood – old turnstiles to bathing
facilities and best of all “Jolly Jack Tar” who would make me laugh till the
tears ran down my cheeks.
Clara’s Cottage was fitted out as
a home of the 1900s and I was delighted to spot the chamber pot peeking out
from under the bed quilt.
There was far too much of
interest to take in on just one visit so I do promise to return in the very
near future.
I can highly recommend the
Palm Court Café – an oasis of calm in the heart of this bustling seaside
town.
And the toilet facilities are
probably the best I have found in recent weeks.
Very clean and modern but with a feel of Victorian times.
How lucky are we to have this museum.
