Chasewater Railway invites you to complement your train journey by visiting our Railway Museum, which is located in the Heritage Centre adjacent to Brownhills West Station.
What's to See? |
As with all of the Chasewater Railway's facilities and trains, the Museum is fully available to visitors with mobility difficulties - and admission to the Museum is free.
Visitors can view a vast array of railway items, many from the 1800s. Although we try to focus on artefacts associated with the local area, with its strong links with the coal mining industry, our collections include items from much further afield. You don't have to be an expert on railways to appreciate the inspirational displays prepared by our Museum Curator, Barry Bull, and his small team of volunteer helpers.
Moving to the Museum area of the Heritage Centre, visitors are able to view a number of historic wagons and passenger coaches (the oldest having been built in 1875) which are part of our wider heritage collection. Many have strong local and regional connections, and all are of importance within the nation's railway heritage.
We are able to accommodate organised groups on non-operating days by prior arrangement, and the Museum is available to children taking part in the Railway's Education Programme.
The Railway is always on the look-out for items to add to the museum collection. If you have something in the garage or loft for which you would like to find a good home, then please don't hesitate to let us know by telephone during operating hours or by completing our contact form.
