Original available by appointment only, the Bank of England Museum decided to "throw its doors open" to the general public, in preparation for the bank's tercentenary in 1994. A fire at the bank building forced a change of plans in 1986. Instead of opening in 1994, it decided to go ahead design the exhibits, which were completed in 18 months. The Bank of England Museum was opened to the public by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
