Damn, I'm already booked for a trip to Exeter on that day. I'll be passing through Acton that morning, but can't visit the museum.

Next year...

No, as it quite clearly says HERE, this will be the final Open weekend before the Museum reopens in the Autumn 2007.

HTH,

I noticed that amongst the old station "roundels" Shoreditch was set against a green diamond shape background....

Anyone know the history on that one :?:

I think it is a very old Metropolitan and District railway sign pre 1933 LPTB.
