East Anglian Railway Museum
East Anglian Railway Museum, Railway museum at Chappel and Wakes Colne station, England.
The museum complex contains locomotives, vintage carriages, and Victorian buildings spread across the original Great Eastern Railway branch line station grounds.
Founded in 1968 as the Stour Valley Railway Preservation Society, the organization received its current name in 1986 and gained museum status in 1995.
The museum maintains a collection of industrial steam locomotives that represent the railway heritage of Eastern Counties through different periods.
The facility opens from 10:00 to 16:00 on Wednesdays and weekends, offering train rides, a café in a vintage carriage, and model railway exhibits.
The station gained music recognition when the band Blur performed their first concert here in 1988 and returned for a special performance in 2009.
