Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings

From Free net encyclopedia

The Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings is an open-air industrial and architectural museum located in Stoke Heath, a district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. Opened in 1967, the museum was conceived following the dismantling of a 15th century timber-framed house in Bromsgrove to provide a location for its reconstruction.

The museum is centered on a collection of buildings which have been relocated from their original sites and restored. It also contains the largest collection of telephone kiosks in the UK, complete with three fully working analogue telephone exchanges , as well as a fully functioning windmill.
