Helping Steampunk decide what to sound like since 2017
the steam powered radio available from here
(ok so it's not strictly steam powered and not strictly a radio)

Below are a list of Steampunk sites and assorted ephemera that may be of some none or negligible interest. In no particular order
Verne Industries: designers of the steam powered radion (caveats apply/cravates in abundant supply) http://www.verneindustries.co.uk/
Steampunks in Space facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/steampunksinspace
Asylum the premiere steampunk festival: http://www.asylumsteampunk.co.uk/
The Men Who Would Be Blamed For Nothing: UK's premier steam punk band (small pond big fish, variable quality) https://blamedfornothing.bandcamp.com/
Grantham Gin Guardians: our favourite steamp punks but you have to ask nicely https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2FGranthamGinGuardians%2F
Papplewick Pumping Station: put on a rather good steampunk day and a fantastic example of Victorian engineering http://papplewickpumpingstation.co.uk/
Blists Hill Victorian Town: exactly what it says on the tin but with zombie football if you are lucky https://www.ironbridge.org.uk/explore/blists-hill-victorian-town/
National Tramway Museum: fantastic historic trams that seem to be able to run far more regularly than the Nottingham net and with theme days some including goggles https://www.tramway.co.uk/
Victorian Society: our English Heritage http://www.victoriansociety.org.uk/
Southwell Workhouse: particularly interesting for those involved in housing and homelessness https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/the-workhouse-southwell
The Malt Cross: www.maltcross.com (we think). If Steam Punks invented their own bar it wouldn't be as good as this I promise you.
Anchor Supplies: http://www.anchorsupplies.com/contacts/ a local government surplus store that has lots of really cool stuff much of which could be punked up
The Old Fashioned Football Shirt Company: http://www.toffs.com/ make reproduction football shirts which cover a range of era's
Sex Gang Children Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sexgangchildren I think this is what steampunk should sound like. It does in my head.
Dresden Dolls website: http://new.dresdendolls.com/ like the above I think this should be the sound of steampunk. DDs do get listed as steampunk though unlike SGC
Brian Talbot's Grandville http://www.bryan-talbot.com/grandville/ my favourite Steampunk graphic novel
Lady Mechanika facebook page https://www.facebook.com/LadyMechanika a rather good steampunk comic that can have Stone Roses worthy gaps in releases
Back to the Future comics http://www.idwpublishing.com/product-category/back-to-the-future/ there's the whole Doc in Victorian America stuff and his kids are Jules and Vern
Doctor Snuggles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Snuggles I'm sure he wore goggles or his badger did or something
The Great Central Railway. One of the best heritage railways located in my birthtown http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/
