British Commercial Vehicle Museum

A Leyland transport museum near Preston, strong on buses, trucks, and commercial vehicle history.

The British Commercial Vehicle Museum is a treat for anyone interested in buses, lorries, fire engines, and the engineering that kept British roads working. Its location in Leyland is fitting, given the town's deep association with vehicle manufacturing.

Even non-specialists may enjoy the scale and familiarity of the collection: these are working vehicles, not abstract machines. It is a solid half-day stop from Preston, especially in wet weather.
