Cutting-Edge History: A Visit to the Lawnmower Museum in Southport, UK

I don’t understand why this isn’t rated as the top tourist attraction in Merseyside, England, apparently some music club where some band was discovered takes that crown?

This was my second attempt to visit the world famous Lawnmower museum. Last time around they were closed, this time we were in luck!

When it comes to weird museums,  the British Lawnmower Museum in Southport did not disappoint.

What’s Inside the British Lawnmower Museum?

There’s mower that meets the eye from the outside!

Founded by lawnmower expert and engineer Brian Radam, over 300 lawnmowers call this building home, including:

World’s largest lawnmower

A special spotlight on the behemoth mower…

I’m clearly in my element hobnobbing with world record holders!

Exit through gift shop

To top it all off there is a gift shop where you can buy merch!

I found it hard to choose but eventually went for 2 little pewter lawnmowers and postcards.

Souvenirs

Pitstop for refreshments

If you’re only passing through Southport, a worthy mention goes to Anne Forsyths automatic milkshake van. It’s located in a petrol station car park and automatically vends milkshakes and fresh milk. The strawberry shake was delicious!
