The South Yorkshire Transport Museum at Aldwarke in Rotherham houses a great collection of vehicles and other miscellaneous transport memorabilia. The museum’s history goes back to the 1960s when Keith Breeden and some other collectors got together and bought a 1946 Leyland PD1 double deck bus. After using several locations in the Sheffield area, it settled for a time at the former Tinsley tram sheds and was known then at the Sheffield Bus Museum. The hopefully final move to Rotherham came in 2007.
Since then, thoughvehicles are brought back to life in the workshop, where at the time of my visit steady progress was being made on the restoration of an ex-BRS Scammell tractor unit.
