British Commercial Vehicle Museum

Саут-Риббл / Великобритания

The British Commercial Vehicle Museum displays antiquarian buses, early fire engines and other historical and commercial vehicles produced by the British manufacturing industry. The museum is located in King Street, Leyland, Lancashire on part of a site previously occupied by the Leyland Motors factory, the source of many exhibits. Funding methods include the admission charges and membership tickets. More recently, a major investment by the Heritage Lottery Fund has contributed to a major refurbishment. The museum is now open throughout the year, six days per week . Events include Classic Vehicles, Model Makers Exhibition and the Spring Transport Show. In 2010, the museum was one of three featured on Richard Macer's BBC Four series Behind the Scenes at the Museum.
