Staff very knowledgably. We mentioned what and who we were looking and they recommended a couple of places we could visit. Pulled out a couple of books, and then even emailed us the following week with more information. Discovered grandma's grandad, on my father's side, was a Chief in the Fire Brigade in the day,,,,,,,never knew that.

If you are lucky enough to be here in November for the Steampunk the Thames Festival when the whole town goes troppo for a bit of Victorian-era explorer/inventor chic. The TSOA on the out-side of town is situated in an old schoolhouses, in which the gallery hosts exhibits by local artists many of whome are inspired by the steampunk ethos.
