Description

Located in the heart of Lancashire, Leyland is the spiritual home of commercial vehicle manufacture. The Museum tells this story and how these vehicles were used.

Over sixty magnificent vehicles from the 1890's up to the 21st century are displayed. Come and stand next to the mighty Scammell 100 Tonner, sit in the cab of a modern Artic truck and on an open top fire engine. Take a view from inside the Popemobile and study the very special coach driven by King George V.

It is not just about the vehicles, marvel at the photographic collection of the past century and watch archive films from a bygone age. Be impressed by the exquisite Leyland Calendar Ladies which show nearly 50 years of high fashion from the early 1930's.

MAGNIFICENT VEHICLES, FASCINATING PHOTOGRAPHS, INTERESTING CHARACTERS.

If all this is not enough, talk to the interesting characters that have all spent their working lives building and operating these magnificent machines.

"This is real living history".

Finish your visit with a drink in our Transport Cafe and look for interesting souvenirs in our shop. This is a place with personality.

Come and meet the characters who appeared in the BBC television programme "Behind the Scenes at the Museum". You will not be disappointed.

Special events held throughout the season. See website for details.
