North Woolwich Old Station Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Woolwich Old Station Museum is a small railway museum in East London. It is housed in the original station building at North Woolwich railway station, situated next to the later, more austere station which became the eastern terminus of the North London Line from 1985 until it, in turn, closed on 9 December 2006. The museum, in fact, was originally a part of the Great Eastern Railway and was derelict for many years until its opening as a museum in 1984.
The collections include historical materials on railways in East London, model trains, and a steam locomotive (not operational). A miniature railway sometimes operates at the weekends.
Admission to the museum is free, but there is a charge for the miniature train rides.
