The National Tramway Museum, located in the little village of Crich in Derbyshire, is a bustling National museum preserving Britain's heritage.
The workhorses of the day, trams, are preserved here and seen running in the type of surroundings once seen in every city and large town.
With examples from Glasgow, Blackpool, Leeds and Sheffield to name just a few, there are also Trams from east and west Europe, America and even Australia!
There is a very wide range of things to do at the Museum - the Exhibition Hall, Tram Depots, Indoor and Outdoor Play areas, period street and shops, Workshop Galleries, Derby Assembly Rooms, Red Lion Pub, Woodland Walk from Wakebridge - and that's not even including the Tram Ride itself!
So, whether you want to discuss days gone by, find out about the latest fleet news, or simply to keep in touch with the comings and goings, then this group is for you!
