Visit to Whitewebbs Museum of Transport

Sunday 19th June 2005

Earlier in the year  some Club members visited the Whitewebbs Museum of Transport. The visit was arranged by Robin Palmer and we were entertained by the President of The Enfield and District Veteran Vehicle Trust, Mr Stanley Chamberlain. Stanley gave a very interesting talk about the history of the Museum and a guided tour. We were very impressed by the Museum and all it had to offer, so much so that we have organised a Fiat Motor Club (GB) National Event to be based at the Museum on the 19th of June 2005. 

The Museum is housed in and around the former Whitewebbs Pumping Station and contains many cars, motorcycles and items of memorabilia.  It is run by The Enfield and District Veteran Vehicle Trust.   

The Museum has three floors and the ground level is occupied by cars, trucks and fire engines. The first floor houses a selection of classic motor bikes and the top level has bicycles, motor related toys and memorabilia.  There was something to interest everyone and this Fiat National event was a great l family venue. There's even a Victorian railway station at the back of the museum complete with an old dining coach. This was apparently a real station in Enfield and when it was decided to modernise it the complete old station was moved to the  back of Whitewebbs.  

Below are some photographs of the event. Click on any of the small photos to view them larger size and enter the event's web-gallery.
