Engine Shed is an accredited museum at Oxenhope in the Bradford area of Yorkshire, bringing the age of steam to life through displays and railway memorabilia. A guided route leads you through exhibits explaining how steam locomotives were designed, built and operated, alongside archive films and audio-visual productions. You can see steam locomotives Nunlow and Tiny on display, watch restoration work in the attached workshop from the upper gallery, and view the 1931 Craven steam breakdown crane outside. It suits railway enthusiasts and families alike. The nearest station is Keighley, 4.2 miles away, and if you fancy making a trip of it, there are 38 bookable places to stay within five miles on BritStays.
