Aston Manor Road Transport Museum

Our current situation

The Museum closed its doors at Witton for the final time on Sunday October 30^th 2011.  We were unable to convince Birmingham City Council of the value of the Museum to the City and, crucially, to be given a reasonable period in which to raise what would have been a quite significant sum of money to secure the premises and therefore the Museum for future generations.

Leading up to the new year, many hours were spent by our dedicated members and volunteers involved with the massive task of clearing out our collection from the site at Witton. The keys to Witton have now been returned to Birmingham City Council, which closes another chapter in the historic building's history.

It seems no secret in the press or on the internet that the majority of our collection has moved to a building in Aldridge. At the present time this is just for storage and is not open to the public. Negotiations are underway with our landlords in the hope that we can work together to create a new museum on the site.
