"Discover the fascinating world of engines, at this impressive industrial museum that’s a real labour of love"
Overview
The Anson Engine Museum is ideal for fans of industrial history. Springing from the enthusiasm of two men, the museum houses over 250 gas and oil engines, many in working order. There’s a tea room and a shop, as well as regular demonstrations of engines in action, and plenty of fun activities for the kids. Free parking.
