14 nostalgic photos showing historical vehicles from through the years at hidden gem South Yorkshire museum

Take a look inside a hidden gem South Yorkshire museum that not many people know exist.

The South Yorkshire Transport Museum in Rotherham is home to a wide range of restored historical vehicles from throughout the decades.

We recently went to the museum and spoke to one of the founders and met some of the volunteers.

If you take a visit to this museum, and you should, expect to see a wide selection of incredibly restored and maintained models, from working cars dating back to the 1920s, buses from the 1940s, right through to the front-cab of a Class 76 electric locomotive. There is even a to-scale concept model of a London Underground train.

But that’s not all, there are plenty of classic cars, such as a 1947 Morris Eight Saloon, an original Fiat 500, plus a number of vehicles that were used in the Second World War, like the original Jeep – which is currently in the process of being restored to full working order.

If you’re looking for an interesting and insightful historical experience that takes in all elements of transport then you should definitely head down to South Yorkshire Transport Museum.
