Streetlife Museum of Transport
Streetlife Museum of Transport, Transport museum in Museums Quarter, Kingston upon Hull, England
The Streetlife Museum of Transport is a transport museum in Kingston upon Hull housing over 12,500 objects related to transportation history, including veteran cars, horse-drawn carriages, and public vehicles. The collection displays the evolution of transport from its origins through various vehicles and modes of travel.
The museum's collection dates back to the early 1900s and documents the development of transportation over multiple generations. The current purpose-built facility opened in 1989, making the collection permanently accessible to the public.
The museum recreates a 1940s street with period shops like a pharmacy, grocer, and sweet shop, showing what daily life looked like during that era. Visitors can walk through these shops and experience how people shopped and spent their time back then.
The museum sits within walking distance from Hull Paragon Interchange and welcomes visitors daily with free entry. The extended opening hours allow visits at different times of day and provide plenty of time to explore the extensive collection.
The collection includes Lady Chesterfield's sleigh from 1810, which the Nunburnholme family used on their East Yorkshire country estate during winter. This elegant vehicle shows how wealthy families traveled in earlier times.
