That picture of the aquamarine wrapping factory reminds me of trips up to my grandparents in Windermere. We used to pass a village which was completely covered in blue powder, from the Dolly Blue works IIRC

The Whitewater Hotel at Backbarrow in the last few photos is where we stayed - that building was the Dolly Blue factory. It is literally right next door to the museum.

I love that k8nd of museum. The Cotswold Motor Museum in Bourton on the Water is very similar.

Sorry FB, I edited you post rather than quoting it. Not quite sure how that happened.
I was too lazy to alter it after pasting. 😀

This museum was tantalisingly close to a place we stayed at in Newby Bridge. It didn't seem far enough to warrant going in the car, but was also impossible to walk to, as there was no pavement along the road. Didn't go in the end!

It's a fun little museum that is just down the road from a hotel a mate of mine owns, the Rusland Pool Hotel. We like to go over and visit Holker Hall while we're there as I was always taken there on school trips as a kid.
As has been pointed out the Bond cars were never there, they were at Keswick.

The Bonds were at Beaulieu last time I went, as were a lot of Top Gear road trip cars. Was a few year back, though...

I can't remember when I last saw one of the pre-facelift Rover 800s. Must be at least 15 years.

Great: I don't need to arse about with any photos as Mark has posted them all. We also went to the Ruskin Museum in Consiton which has a Campbell section. They've got the bits of K7 dragged out of the lake over the years: the state of the cockpit indicates a pretty instant death for poor Donald: how to upload an image to the internet
