Pendon Museum, Independent museum in Long Wittenham, England
The Pendon Museum presents detailed scale models depicting the Vale of White Horse countryside and railways during the 1920s and 1930s period.
Founded in 1954 by Australian Roye England, the museum has grown from a personal collection into an institution preserving English rural heritage through miniature landscapes.
The museum's exhibitions feature meticulously crafted models of regional architecture, including cottages and railway stations that required hundreds of hours to complete.
Located near Didcot, the museum opens weekends and holidays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with limited wheelchair access available in certain areas.
Every train model runs according to actual historical timetables from the 1920s, operating on handcrafted railway layouts representing specific Great Western Railway routes.
