Hull Streetlife Museum
Hull's Streetlife Museum (formerly the Hull Musuem of Transport) started up in the late 1980s, and houses a small yet extremely varied collection of transport ranging from a steam car to an aeroplane, as well as models, tram stop signs and many other smaller items. In more recent times the museum has been extended and laid out in a much more imaginative way - most of the road vehicles are displayed in a period street setting, which despite being indoors, looks much more authentic than the previous layout. Replica shop facades add greatly to the effect, whilst there are a number of horse-drawn carriages displayed in a most attractive period scene, complete with dummy horses. For the tram enthusiast, the Hull collection has just three trams - but they represent horse, steam and electric traction, which is a claim shared by very few other museums in this country. Each of the trams are very unusual and they all have an interesting story to tell. As usual you can access the different pages of the gallery through links at both the top and bottom of the page.
