Bury Transport Museum
Bury Transport Museum is a transport museum in Bury, Greater Manchester, situated in the former Castlecroft Goods Warehouse, a Grade II listed building from 1846, on Castlecroft Road, with the main entrance from Bolton Street, BL9 0EY.
It was started in 1973 by volunteers of the East Lancashire Railway, had to close in 2003 because of roof problems but opened again in 2010. Between May 2022 and early 2023 the museum had LNER Class A4 4488 Union of South Africa on static display. The locomotive was removed on 21 April 2023.
In December 2023 LMS 3-Cylindered Stanier 2-6-4T No. 2500 was loaned to the museum from the National Railway Museum.
