Full description
Showcasing some of the finest Sheffield-made vehicles of the 1920s, The Charlesworth Transport Gallery explores the story of transport in Sheffield and its essential part of our industrial history. Transport has played a vital role within Sheffield, both within its industries and for the city as a whole. As a major manufacturing centre, a good transport system was important to carry raw materials and goods in and out, as well as to transport workers and inhabitants around the city. In addition to its own transport use, it was also a key manufacturer of both parts and vehicles. See objects including a Richardson Light Car, Ner-a-Car motorcylces, an electric Metrovick milk float and a Rolls-Royce Avon jet engine. Upstairs in the Upper Transport Gallery, you’ll discover examples of perhaps the most famous car made in Sheffield, the Simplex.
