Charles Burrell Museum, Steam power museum in Thetford, England.

The Charles Burrell Museum occupies a former paint shop building, displaying steam engines, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment from the Burrell manufacturing era.

The museum preserves the legacy of Charles Burrell & Sons, a company that employed 350 workers and manufactured steam-powered vehicles until its closure in 1928.

The museum maintains a collection of original factory machinery, technical drawings, and steam-powered vehicles that shaped industrial development in Norfolk.

Located on Minstergate, the museum opens every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, offering free admission and wheelchair accessibility for all visitors.

The museum houses Jones' delivery van from the television series Dad's Army, transferred from the nearby Dad's Army Museum due to space requirements.
