MUSEUMS & PUBS

with signalling equipment on display

This section comprises a listing of museums and pubs that contain signalling equipment. They are listed by county for easy reference. Overseas museums appear at the foot of the list.

Every location listed here has signalling equipment of one sort or another on public display. This may be just a single item, or a whole hall full. A guide to this is given in the text, although bear in mind that displays may be changed at any time.

If the equipment on display is not original, for example fibreglass replicas in pubs, this will be mentioned in the text, but it doesn't necessarily mean the place isn't worth a visit.

Preserved railways are not listed here for their operational equipment. However, if they have separate displays of signalling equipment. . . well, that's different.

There must be many more museums and pubs to add to this section - can you help?
