Dover Transport Museum

On Ben's day off work this week, we decided to take Benjamin to the Dover Transport Museum. He is just crazy about trains and all vehicles really, so we knew this would be right up his street! Ben is also a big car fan and as for me....well i just like anything historical, being the nerd that I am, ha! So the first thing we looked at was this old gypsy wagon....

Ben's Dad had one of these Ford Populars a few years ago, which he sold later on. He called it his 'Pop'...

"Let me drive"!

I absolutely loved how they had imitated old shops...

Inside an old worker's sleep van....

Benjamin adored the model railway. he kept going back to that....

Ben and the old diesel engine...

We don't quite know what a mangle had to to do with old transport but I had to take this photo really for my Mum, who got her thumb caught in a mangle as a child and it hasn't been the same since!

An old fire engine - they put the lights on just for us!

Here is the lower deck of an old topless bus....

And here is the view from the upper deck!

Benjamin had fun pressing the buttons on the Thomas the Tank Engine electric train set...

So lucky not to have experienced what those poor people did in the war....

The museum wasn't huge but I am so glad we came. We loved taking Benjamin somewhere like this. Plus the ticket we bought allows us to come back repeatedly for a whole year!
