Museum of Technology

This week we discovered a lovely museum in Auckland dedicated to the history of Technology and Transport. There's a tram journey from one part to another; a re-assembled Victorian village; and lots of stuff to do with radios, engines and steam...Pictured is a brick building housing the beam engine from the very first water pump installed in Auckland (for those of you who know the Abbey Pump House in Leicester it's almost identical, and most of the steam engines had been shipped over from Birmingham so Tim felt very much at home!); and a typical Settlers' house from the early 19th century.
