The British Commercial Vehicle Museum by Arthur S

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!
