Strumpshaw Steam Museum sits in Strumpshaw, Broadland, Norfolk. In the early fifties, the founder started a private collection of steam engines, which he opened to the public in the mid-sixties. Today you can see Steam Engines, 100-ton working Beam Engines, Narrow Gauge Railway, 1930s Fairground, Mechanical Organs and Memorabilia, along with a gift shop and a newly furnished cafeteria. Dogs are very welcome on leads inside, and the museum offers access by ramp onto the train and a disabled toilet. It is only open Sundays and Bank Holidays, not open during the week.
