The Bakelite Museum in Williton, Somerset is a museum of few words. At the entrance, a small sign introduces Bakelite 'The material of a thousand uses'. Invented by Dr Leo Baekeland in 1907 Bakelite was the world's first, and most successful synthetic plastic, in continuous production ever since. If you think it's confined to old brown radios, think again. The museum, set over two floors in a 17th Century watermill is jam packed with Bakelite products of all shapes, sizes and colours.
