Charles Burrell Museum

The Charles Burrell Museum, located in Thetford, Norfolk, is a fascinating destination for those interested in steam power and transport. Opened in 1991 in a historic building that once housed the Charles Burrell & Sons factory, the museum showcases a rich collection of steam engines, including a steam roller and traction engine, alongside factory machinery and agricultural equipment. Visitors can explore the legacy of a company that employed 350 people until its closure in 1928. Notably, the museum also features the original Ford BB van from the beloved TV series 'Dad's Army,' adding a unique cultural touch. Open on Saturdays with free admission, the museum is run by dedicated volunteers, making it a charming stop for tourists and researchers alike.
