Black Country Museum
An immersive experience from start to finish, Black Country Living Museum is an award-winning open air museum that tells the story of one of the very first industrialised landscapes in Britain. Set across 26 acres, you’ll explore over forty carefully reconstructed shops, houses and industrial areas that represent the Black Country’s story. You’ll learn how steam power, human ingenuity and an increasingly interconnected world transformed this region into a manufacturing powerhouse. You’ll meet our historic characters who’ll tell you stories of what it was really like to live and work during this revolutionary period of history. Most importantly, you’ll see history brought to life before your eyes – you’ll hear the clang of hammers; smell the smoke billowing from red brick chimneys.
In 2018 the Museum has also received five cars from The Patrick Collection, a private collection which has fallen on hard times.

Brooklands Museum
Built in 1907 by Hugh and Ethel Locke King, Brooklands became the place where this country’s most daring drivers and inventive engineers came during the sport’s most formative years. The World Land Speed Record was set here on three separate occasions, the Track hosted the first two RAC British Grands Prix in 1926 and 1927. Motorcycle racing started at Brooklands in 1908 and the Track quickly became home of many motorcycle riders, including Eric Fernihough and Noel Pope. The Museum is home to the Members’ Banking, the steepest part of the Brooklands race track, and has a wide collection of cars, motorcycles and bicycles, particularly from the heyday of the track until it closed in 1939. The motoring collection is displayed inside the surviving Motoring Village buildings, next to the iconic Brooklands Clubhouse. Brooklands was also one of the most prolific aircraft production sites in Europe. From A V Roe’s first trials here in 1907-08, through many decades of manufacture, no other place in Europe, has seen such achievements. Some 18,600 new aircraft of nearly 250 types were first flown, manufactured or assembled at Brooklands. The Museum’s collection of Brooklands aircraft spanning the last hundred years ranges from a replica of the aeroplane in which A.V.Roe carried out pioneering flight trials to Concorde G-BBDG.

East Anglia Transport Museum
Here you can see a unique project; the creation of a museum of street transport designed to show the development of mechanical transport over the best part of a century. The essence of transport is movement, so we are building a living museum where vehicles of yesteryear can be seen in action, where half-forgotten sounds of the past are brought back to life and where visitors can journey back in time by travelling on a few of the exhibits along the Museum’s streets. The museum has a diverse and ever expanding collection of historic and interesting vehicles. Whilst the most numerous of these are our fleets of trams, trolleybuses and buses, we also have a number of commercial vehicles, cars and steam vehicles, not forgetting the narrow gauge rolling stock that is in use on the East Suffolk Light Railway.

Milestones is Hampshire’s Living History Museum – an exciting adventure for all those who step in to this time capsule of social history. The dedicated team of costumed interpreters guide visitors as they journey back to Hampshire’s past. Milestones is packed full of the things that ordinary people used in the past. Those people had to go to work, wash their clothes, eat, sleep, and have fun exactly as we do today – but the things they used were sometimes very different from what we use now. Milestones gives us an idea of what it might have been like to live in the past. And our ancestors would recognise the things here because they are the actual things they used. There’s a building dedicated to Thornycroft, a local automobile manufacturer. Some of the vehicles they built are on display in a building that includes machinery from the original works.

Shuttleworth Collection
One of the great aircraft and car collections of the world, which is famous for its regular flying displays. The Shuttleworth Collection was established in memory of Richard Shuttleworth, who died in an air crash in 1940, at the age of 31. Richard Shuttleworth was an accomplished pilot and racing driver. He learnt to fly in the early 1930s, and in 1933 flew a single seater aircraft 6,000 miles from Old Warden to Delhi in twelve days. The veteran vehicles of all shapes and sizes are capable of being driven and ridden, and take part in parades at many of our main events, some can even be seen participating at other venues like Brooklands or in the historic London to Brighton Run! All of these vehicles have living histories and stories that Shuttleworth is safeguarding for the future. So when you look around at these vehicles today, it’s because of skilled and passionate engineers, volunteers, drivers, and riders they will all continue to drive and be ridden for future generations.
