Crich from the Archives

The National Tramway Museum is situated close to the village of Crich in Derbyshire. Established as far back as 1959, the museum is on the site of a former mineral railway built by George Stephenson in 1841. Since its establishment the museum has grown into a superb attraction featuring many buildings and items once found in the streets of Britain, some dating back to the Victorian age. It is evolving all of the time and is home to a fantastic collection of preserved tramcars, the oldest dating back to the 1880s. This DVD programme has been compiled from the extensive film and video archive of Independent Transport Videos. None of the footage seen in this programme has been published before and it shows how the museum site has grown up to the one that we can all enjoy in the 21st century. We take you on a journey from the 1980s to 2014, filmed over seven visits.
