331 Bakelite Caravan

Bakelite Caravan

 

This Pod caravan is onr of several at the now closed Bekerlite Museum. Constructed from the Bakerlite composite, early form of plastic.

 

The museum was an Aladins cave of all things Bakerlite, and on our visit i had the pleasure of speaking to the Museums owner Patrick Cook who told me at the time that his collection was now must to large to be housed at the three storey former water mill it then occupied in Williton Somerset and that only about a third of the collection was actually on display. Considering there were literally thousands of items you have to wonder what other gems lie in wait.

 

But if he is able to reopen at a bigger and more urban location a visit to the collection is a must.

 

That is if Saint Greta patron Saint of killjoys allows
