The National Tramway Museum is a tram museum located at Crich, Derbyshire, England. The museum contains over 80 trams built between 1873 and 1982 and is set within a recreated period village containing a working pub, cafe, old-style sweetshop and tram depots. The museum's collection of trams runs through the village-setting with visitors transported out into the local countryside and back and is operated by the Tramway Museum Society, a registered charity.
The museum features working trams in a traditional street setting. This 1931 Leeds tram is about to pass under the historic Bowes-Lyon Bridge.
