Vintage Vehicles Shildon Ltd.

The Museum

The Museum houses a range of vehicles that have been lovingly restored. Many of which, have been in the Bowman family for generations as true workhorses of industry.

The aim of the museum is to allow people to see the progression of a family business over the years from horse and cart through to modern diesel engine lorries which, were to be seen as an everyday part of local life throughout the North East of England. The family tradition has been captured and the history of road haulage can be seen and is represented by this unique collection of vehicles.
