Just across from The Lancashire Railway heritage steam train station is the Bury Transport Museum in Bury, England, in greater Manchester. Housed in a beautiful listed building, it is small but contains historic vehicles of the North's industrial past. Most vehicles are open and visitors can walk inside coaches and on the train. It is well worth a visit and the staff on site are friendly and helpful.
From the Website - The whole family will be amazed at the stories we share and the cars, trucks, buses and trains we have on display. You’ll find a treasure trove of vintage vehicles to discover and period costumes to try on, alongside loads of hands-on activities to get stuck into.
We’ve got dozens of original artefacts from the turn of the 20th century and beyond, each telling its own unique tale about the people living and working in the industrial North West – and how they travelled about.
Discover the horse drawn tram that was once a chip shop. Learn how “Hilda” the steam roller almost met her end and get up close and personal to the legendary steam train 60009 “Union of South Africa”.
