👍👍 This is an excellent place to visit, fascinating history with two really enthusiastic owners. The railway memorabilia and the model railways are worth the trip by themselves and sure you might as well have a haircut while you're there.

👍👍 We'd gone into town for a haircut, but the only barbers open on Sunday had a long queue, so we decided to go shopping... As we passed Romsey Signal Box Museum, we saw it was open and my 4 year old suggested we go in. Despite living in Romsey for 25 years I'd never visited. It waa great, the voluntee...

So do not doubt your in the wrong place 😁. Disabled parking available, large car park. Toilets availab...
