Excerpt:
Enter the fascinating world of this internationally famous Museum and have a unique experience, it marks the culmination of a dream by Ex-Racing champion Brian Radam. His interest in this type of equipment stems from early involvement in the family business which started in 1945 which has finally developed into The Discount Garden Machinery Warehouse Stanleys with over 200 new models displayed, catering for all aspects of sales, spares and service. The Museum has now become one of the Worlds leading authorities on vintage lawnmowers and is now the largest import & export specialists in antique garden machinery, supplying parts, archive conservation of manuscript materials and valuing machines from all over the world. The Museum retains a character not often seen in these modern times.
Annotation:
This quirky museum, located in Southport, Lancashire, houses hundreds of lawnmowers from the past century. Their site is fairly sparse, with almost no text on the history of lawnmowers. However, there are 15 large photographs of some of their most prized specimens from early horse-drawn mowers to automated models. The museum also provides details of some of their collection, which includes lawnmowers of the rich and famous (e.g., Prince Charles).
