The telescope is the latest of over 1,000 artefacts placed around the corridors of the free museum.

Items on display include old typewriters, vacuum cleaners, clothing and vintage milk bottles.

Ms Bishop said: "Our museum is here to preserve the past and allow our visitors to reminisce.

"It brings back memories of the olden days, but is also a great educational tool for children."
