Similarly at the motorcycle museum at Meriden (If it is still there?). The British bikes arranged in timeline order enable a 'walk past' of development.
But it also shows that the British bike industry just wasn't keeping up with what the consumer wanted.

The National Motorcycle Museum is still there, though like many such establishments I believe it has been struggling somewhat this last year or two, they’ve sent a few bikes to auction in the recent past.
A real gem of a museum is Sammy Miller’s on the edge of the New Forest. Pretty much all the bikes are kept in running order and there’s a more than reasonable chance you’ll bump into the legend that is Sammy himself. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Excellent tea room as well.
