Welcome to the Anson Engine Museum


As featured on TV, our multi award winning museum has a great deal to offer visitors.

 

The museum is built on the site of the old Anson Colliery. We have one of the largest collections of engines in Europe - varying in size from desktop to 100 tons!  We also have changing exhibitions and events on engines and local history throughout the year.

Donations

 

The museum is a registered charity and does not receive government or public funding to help us to run the museum and rescue engines.  Most of the work carried out to date has been funded by the volunteers and friends of the museum.  For their help and generosity we are very grateful. It is however, difficult for us to continue to fund everything we are trying to do and to cover the cost of recovering, removing and transporting engines when they are offered to us.  

 

If you would like to make a donation to help us with the projects we have planned then you can do so by donating using the link below.  This company does not charge any fee for handling donations so we receive 100% of the money you donate.
