The British Commercial Vehicle Museum by Locksmith Manchester
The British Commercial Vehicle Museum
Admire horse-drawn vehicles from the 1880s and learn how they gave way first to steam driven, then petrol & diesel powered motor lorries & buses. Perhaps remember times when garages might have just a single fuel pump, and someone would come out to serve you petrol at less than 4 shillings a gallon!
We help bring to life times past, and create an entertaining atmosphere.
Numerous audio-visual displays feature vehicles being built and at work
Hands-on interactive displays for all ages to enjoy
Bells ring out from fire-engines rushing to an emergency call.
Relax in the cinema to watch films from our archives.
A lorry driving experience where children can really feel that they are driving a large vehicle.
And then, our guides too have many interesting tales to tell!
