The Carriage Works is home to one of the finest collections of restored railway carriages in the country, with rolling stock dating from 1876 to 1950.
With easy access to many of the carriages displayed in the museum, the Carriage Works Museum is a great way to explore the changes in travel over the years.
Vintage Carriages Trust's Carriage Works Museum at Ingrow is the home of five carriages which were used in the 1970 EMI film version of The Railway Chiildren. The film starred Jenny Agutter, Bernard Cribbins, Iain Cuthbertson, William Mervyn, Dinah Sheridan, Sally Thomsett and Gary Warren, with Christopher Witty playimg the part of Jim.
Three of our carriages appeared in the 1968 BBC TV series of The Railway Children, which also featured Jenny Agutter.
Two of our carriages were filmed in 2021 for the film, The Railway Children Return, which once again featured Jenny Agutter.
You will probably be surprised by how many other films and television programme our carriages have appeared in!
As you explore the museum you'll find information explaining the journey of our collection - but don't worry if you have questions; our friendly volunteers are always on hand to provide insights about the history of items and the wider rail movement.
Our education pages also include activities and ideas for younger visitors. We can also offer group bookings for schools and enthusiasts.
