Dover

The Dover transport Museum is located in Whitfield on Willingdon road. This is near the Whitfield Business Park.
In the entrance to the museum there is a very large display of an old vintage car parked in front of an old garage with replica petrol pumps.
Alongside the entrance display there is many cars of many generations which are parked in a row for you to browse at. Outside the main entrance there is a steam train set on permanent tracks from the days when trains were believed to have a heart and soul!

The Dover Transport Museum is now at its permanent site after lottery funding and local businesses donated money to achieve this. Thanks to the efforts of them this is now a very popular attraction locally. They hold conducted tours for schools and groups so you can find out useful information about the various transportation around the attraction.
You can view here bicycles and motorcycles from various ages and also hundreds of models.
The Museum also holds some exhibits from the local coalmine industry which closed in the 1980s,showing workers tools and mechanical items used to transport the local coal.

There is a tea room which is open on Sundays only, which is a bit of a pain when you visit in the week or Saturdays! But this is my only moan about a museum which gives you a glimpse of the past and how technology has developed in such a short space of time.
