National Tramway Museum - Crich, Derbyshire

The National Tramway Museum, at Crich, in Derbyshire, is situated within Crich Tramway Village, a period village containing a pub, cafe, old-style sweetshop, including the tram depots. The village is also home to the Eagle Press, a small museum dedicated to Letterpress Printing including an 1859 Columbian printing press. The museum's collection of trams runs through the village setting. Visitors are transported one mile out into the countryside and back, aboard the varied fleet of trams.The trams at Crich mostly ran along the streets of cities before the 1960s, with some trams rescued and restored (even from other countries) as the systems closed.
