Trip to the Ipswich Transport Museum

August 18 @ 2:00 pm 5:00 pm

The Ipswich Transport Museum has a collection of over 100 major transport and engineering objects which were made or used in the Ipswich area. They show how people used to go about their daily lives and remind us of the many things that were actually designed and built on our doorstep. The collection started 50 years ago with just one bus and has grown into one of the most comprehensive collections of its kind.

You can see buses and bicycles, prams and a police car, lawnmowers and lorries, fire engines and a funeral hearse. The amazing selection of local vehicles is supported by a variety of small exhibits, display material and ephemera.
The museum also houses the Ipswich Engineering Collection which includes many items from well known companies including Ransomes Sims and Jefferies, Ransomes and Rapier, Cranes, Reavell and Cocksedge. The displays include cranes, fork lift trucks, lawnmowers and intricate models.

In groups of 10, our guides will take us around the exhibits, providing detailed information and giving plenty of opportunity for questions. At the end of the tour, there will be some free time to look around the museum.

Please make your own arrangements for travel to the Museum, there is ample parking on site.
