Coventry Transport Museum unveils £8.5m revamp

Coventry Transport Museum began as the Museum of British Road Transport in 1980. The site chosen was at a building formerly used by Matterson, Huxley & Watson, Iron Founders at Cook Street and Hales Street. After much reconstruction the converted building was opened as a Transport Museum in October 1980 by the Lord Mayor Tom McClatchie. At first, the collection consisted of 100 motor vehicles, 190 cycles and 60 motorcycles. Many of the cycles originated from a collection sourced by Sammy Bartlee
