CRICH TRAMWAY MUSEUM (Derbyshire)

The Crich Tramway Museum is located in the Derbyshire Peak District, in the village of Crich.
It was built in an abandoned quarry, over 40 years ago. After founder members came to Crich, to remove the former narrow gauge rails, on behalf of the Talyllyn Railway.
It was the beginnings of the Tramway Museum. There are quite a few features there, including a Tramshed, which houses the fleet of Trams, that run daily for visitors. Also an Indoor museum, that Includes an old Steam Organ, which is very noisy indeed!
Also in the museum are more Tram exhibits and items connected with Old Tramways.
The Tramway has certain days which feature people dressed in Period clothing, such as the "1940's day" which I attended. It added more Authenticity to the Tramway, seeing people in wartime clothing and Chimney sweeps and women in the dresses of that period.
There are photos above which were taken on that day.
Admission to the museum includes all rides on the Trams and they run from one end, where the street & tramsheds are based, right up to the quarry. It then makes the return journey.
There are tea rooms and an old pub. All made to fit into the scene of the Tramway.
The Trams themselves are all restored by the Tramway members and were once running in certain towns & cities In the UK and one or two from France as well.
In fact, all the items at the Museum, the Track and cobblestones,etc, were all from parts of Britain and used within the museum itself. A reminder of days gone by!
