30th April 2016<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today we spent the day in Oxford. Rather than drive (parking in the city centre is limited), we caught the train in the hope that Callum would get to go on the Class 180 after spotting them at Reading for so long.  He would need to wait a little longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short walk from the station into the Town Centre, our first stop was the Tourist Information Centre to figure out what to see.  We opted for the Museum of the History of Science<\/strong><\/a> which the ladies in the Tourist Office raved about.   It was OK – really just collections of objects on how items have developed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a Refractor owned by Francis Baily and other astronomical objects, plus cameras, wireless\/radio and other objects.\u00a0 It’s not a large museum … but just doesn’t compare to the Oxford’s Museum of Natural History.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
