About this event
With grateful thanks to Nick Pidgely and the staff and volunteers at Amberley Museum, we are pleased to be able to offer perhaps the most ambitious road and rail steam event we have yet attempted. Featuring a number of visiting road steam engines, we will have a full day of photography around the site with many scenes. We aim to have at least one living van in use (and hopefully more) plus a number of other period props to help recreate the days of steam in the 1920s and 1930s.
Amberley Museum is set in a former chalk pit in the West Sussex countryside. It was created in the 1970s to meet the need for a centre in the south east of England to conserve and demonstrate the industrial history which was rapidly being lost, and the County Council was persuaded to purchase the site at auction to stop inappropriate development. Since then it has grown into a major open air museum with its own railway, significant collection of road transport exhibits and many displays which reflect the industrial and archaeological past across a 36-acre site.
