Anson Museum

The Anson Engine Museum is one of those special places, a museum run by enthusiasts rather than 'professional museums people'. As a consequence it is interesting and presented at a level that requires rather more intelligence than the average amoeba at which most museums seem to aim these days. This view shows just one of the halls in which a wide range of oil, gas, and even a few steam, engines are presented and run. They specialise in engines built in the Manchester area but this does not preclude examples from further afield. If you are in the area on one of their running days then it is a must see!
