Pallot Heritage Steam Museum, Technology museum in Trinity, Jersey
The Pallot Heritage Steam Museum is a technology museum located in Trinity that displays steam engines, vintage automobiles, farm equipment, and mechanical devices spanning multiple decades. The site also features a working narrow gauge railway with a reconstructed Victorian station where visitors can see these machines in operation.
The museum opened in 1990 when Lyndon Pallot completed his decades-long effort to gather and restore steam engines and mechanical equipment from Jersey and nearby areas. This founded institution preserves the technological heritage that powered the island's industrial and agricultural past.
The collection shows how people once relied on steam power and railways for work and transport in their daily lives. The displays reveal the connection between these machines and farming, industry, and travel that shaped communities across generations.
The museum is accessible by bus routes 4 and 5, making it easy to reach without complicated travel arrangements. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the exhibitions and the railway demonstrations at your own pace.
The collection includes five working steam locomotives, two of which were originally built in Belgium and England before being brought to Jersey for preservation and display. These rare machines represent an international piece of railway heritage found in one island location.
