It's gorgeous isn't it? Could have spent all day very happy in there:

Absolutely wonderful. I love old museums. After I left the Army in the early 1980s I decided to find my Great Uncle's Wargrave from WWI. I knew where he had been interred in 1917, so I started there. This turned out to be a challenging endeavour. His body had been moved in 1964. From the Hospital where he was originally buried I travelled across France following various leads. This meant staying in towns and villages gathering more details. During this time I discovered lots of little museums. Many Toy museums as well as memorials and tributes to the fallen. The toy museums were an entirely new experience for me and helped fill my time after long journeys. Thank you for this excellent trip down memory lane. I love your work. Cheers

Wow what an adventure. I am currently also on the hunt for a WW1 monument, there's no body as he went down with his ship. Small museums have such heart and are often so unexpected. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Sounds amazing!

@@throughlucyslens I can assure you I am not at all adventurous. It was a time of small towns and villages, interspersed with overnight train rides. My Great Uncle now rests at Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille. He was only 17 years old. Best of Luck to you in completing your quest. Warmest Regards.

Wow what a place, the toys that intrest me the most are the cute little bits and bats in the old dolls houses the furniture is gorgeous, all hand carved and real fabric unlike the ones of today where is all flimsy plastic and stickers, thanks for sharing i really did enjoy it stay safe out there ❤

Such a fab find! You could lose an entire day in there exploring everything. As someone who is too sentimental to part with any of the soft toys I was gifted as a baby the vintage teddy bears would always be the highlight for me. My grandad would’ve loved the Dinky collection and the micro models though

So true! I would have stayed longer but I arrived pretty late. It was amazing, I loved how chill they were and it felt like a real explore rather than a museum.

This place looks amazing! Will have to check it out next time I’m in Brighton

Honestly you could spend many many happy hours in there. It’s so chilled out and they make the visit really comfortable. I bet if I went back I would see totally different things.

As a Sussex girl (now living in the Midlands) I thought West Hill lift from my home town of Hastings and the Long Man of Wilmington on the model railway was a lovely nod to the County! Plus Harveys is much nicer than Bass.

Thanks for this Lucy I loved the prams, dollhouses and tea sets I wish I could have seen more of the prams but understand why they high up. 🥰

If I go somewhere else like this I'll be sure to get the prams in for you. I had a mini silver cross when I was a child, very lucky indeed, my great Nan got it for me.

This looks amazing! Unfortunately we totally missed it when we were on vacation in Brighton last summer. It is indeed easy to miss.

Yes, so tucked away and barely advertised unless you happen to look up at the bridge outside the train station. Maybe one day you will visit again and put that right :)

Hi, Lucy. I´m a fan of toy museums, and this one is great. And I remember you first video, the one where you showed the collection of doll houses. Thank you, best wishes from Buenos Aires

Wow what a treasure trove of toys! I love the Pelham puppets, my dad has a couple, he used to get them out when we were young, but like you, it was very much 'look but don't touch'. I'd love to look around the museum next time I'm in Brighton x
