I visited there in 2008, on a friend's recommendation, and quite enjoyed it.

Sounds as though you would enjoy a visit to my house.

Exactly, myself and techie friend visited a rural technology museum on Sunday and wondered whether there was anywhere, more structured versions of each of our gargen sheds. Nixi tube Marconi frequency counters, a laser video disc, odd bits of core-store, a box of wire-wrap tools, bug-eaten ancient hobbiest magazines early VCR machines etc etc
ever
Looks as though it is only for spotty kids now, not sad old gits

I've got a collection of Wireless Worlds going back to the late 1940s, does that count?
If you are ever in the Minehead area, the radio museum at Washford is worth a visit - mainly ex-BBC equipment and domestic receivers.
