History...

'Tinsley Tram Sheds' by Mick Rick

 

 

Keith Beeden was one of the founding fathers of the bus preservation movement in Sheffield and has been a mainstay of the development of the Museum from a small set of schoolboys in the late 1960s to a fully-fledged and respected Transport Museum today. Here he tells the story up to Easter 2007 in his own words.
