Broadcast Engineering Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Hemswell Cliff, this place is a total hidden gem for anyone who's ever wondered what goes on behind the TV or radio. It’s like stepping back in time into the glory days of broadcasting, filled with all the clunky, fascinating tech that made it all happen. You can get up close to massive old cameras, towering transmission masts, and control panels that look like they're from a sci-fi movie. The sheer scale of some of this equipment is just incredible—it really makes you appreciate how far we've come from these analogue giants.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from vintage BBC outside broadcast trucks and classic television cameras to historic radio transmitters and a collection of period studio sets.
Visitor Information
Heads up, it's not your typical walk-in museum; you absolutely need to book your visit in advance through their website. It's run by passionate volunteers, so opening times are limited and often just on weekends.
Architecture & Building
Housed in an unassuming, large brick building that feels more like a warehouse or a former industrial unit than a traditional museum.
