The Museum as it is today has been achieved by dogged hard work and enthusiasm
by Stella and her husband Dave. It has taken over thirty five years of collecting
and collating to end up with a shrine to the way we used to live. A time when nearly
everything we bought and used said British Made or produced.

The only way to keep an
independent museum open is to
keep overheads to an absolute
minimum. Stella and Dave manage this by doing everything,
themselves. Up until this year 2008 they have opened between
February 1st - November 30th. Seven days a week. They are
now giving themselves one day a week off by closing on
Wednesdays. They know they may upset a lot of their regular visitors who will
presume that they still, as they have been for the past sixteen years open every day. To those who do turn up the Mitchell’s hope they will accept their sincerest apologies. Setting up and running Land of Lost Content (formerly Rejectamenta) has been hard work with little remuneration, but the glowing praise and heart felt
comments visitors say and write in the visitors book, is reward enough. When . visitors return time and time again it says so much about a place. .
