Crich Tramway Village

The museum has working trams in an old style street setting. This is a 1931 double-decker Leeds tram and is about to pass under the Bowes-Lyon Bridge

Crich Tramway Village is an open-air museum of trams and tramways, in Crich, (audio speaker iconlisten ), Derbyshire, England. It is the home of the National Tramway Museum. It is set up as an Edwardian village and has a street with shops which include a sweet shop, café and gift shop. Other buildings in the open-air museum are the Red Lion Pub from Stoke-on-Trent, Derby Assembly Rooms, Burnley Tramways Offices and the tram sheds and displays. There are tram lines which go out for about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the village. There is also a collection of old street furniture from around the United Kingdom.

The trams that are in the museum used to run on tramlines along the streets of different towns and cities. Most of the trams at Crich were used in the United Kingdom before the 1960s. Some are from other countries.[1] Many were saved and restored after the tram services in the cities stopped.
