National Tramway Museum
National Tramway Museum, Tramway museum in Crich, United Kingdom
The National Tramway Museum maintains a collection of over 80 trams built between 1873 and 1982 within a recreated period village setting.
George Stephenson constructed the original mineral railway at this location for transporting limestone and coal from local quarries to distribution points.
The museum collection includes operational trams from multiple British cities, demonstrating the transportation methods that shaped urban development across generations.
The museum features a working pub, cafe, old-style sweetshop, and a 1.6-kilometer tramway line that carries passengers through the surrounding countryside.
The Woodland Walk contains sculptures by Andrew Frost that naturally change over time as the wooden installations deteriorate within the environment.
