The South Yorkshire Transport Museum can be found at Aldwarke, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. Until recently this Transport Museum was located in the former Tinsley Tram Sheds between Sheffield and Rotherham. I visited here about 4 years ago and it was then called the Sheffield Bus Museum. Now it has relocated, it has been given a new name, the South Yorkshire Transport Museum.

Although, the museum has been redeveloped since I was last there (about 10 years ago!) the street remains there, and this is something (about the only thing) I remembered about the museum before I went back. I liked the street and shop as I liked imagining what it would have been like to live in the area about 100 years ago.
