The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft
The Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, Transport museum in Sandtoft, United Kingdom
The Trolleybus Museum in Sandtoft holds more than 60 preserved electric buses and trolleys displayed across a former military airfield. The site presents a broad overview of how these vehicles developed and served in public transport systems.
The museum was founded in 1969 when the organization took over land from a decommissioned military base that had closed in 1958. This former air force site provided a new home for collecting and preserving these historic vehicles.
The museum draws together people who share a passion for electric vehicles and public transport history each year. These gatherings show how visitors connect with this mode of transport as part of their shared heritage.
Visitors can refresh themselves at a cafe and watch historic films in a screening hall before taking bus tours around the Isle of Axholme. The site is walkable and allows plenty of time to see all the vehicles at your own pace.
The site houses a building from 1906 that originally served as housing for managers during the construction of Immingham Docks. This prefabricated structure was brought here and shows a rare building practice from that era.
