Stella Mitchell (founder and owner) :
"The Museum is the result of a lifetime's work. I realised , when a student , that other museums were ignoring the lives, experiences, possessions, hopes and dreams of the 'ordinary' people of Britain. I was always fired with the desire to right this wrong; and fuelled with the artistic need to create something of merit that might knock just a few people's socks off!
My husband Dave is an 'enabler' or regal proportion and capability. When we joined forces in 1985 the way forward became clear. Our first Museum was open to the public from 1991- We have run it on a web of a shoestring ever since- no sign of funding (but we didn't look too hard). Remember, 99% of it has been chosen by myself over the last 45 years and paid for on a bank over-draft that ebbs like the sea.
The collection increases daily, and the displays are reconfigured and titivated annually.
Our Cafe "Icons" is run by Sue Boobyer and is a separate business, it is open in conjuction with 'Land of Lost Content' and can be hired as part of a party package for private functions. On the occasional evening we offer food, music, quizzes etc. We hope you enjoy your visit."
