Britain once made the buses, trucks, farm and military vehicles for not just itself but for all the "pink bits" on the world map; many were built right here, by Leyland Motors. That firm folded in 1968 and the site is now this museum of the British road transport industry, "the big story of big vehicles" as they put it, with a great collection. The original building was too cold in winter but it was rebuilt in 2018 and now opens year-round.
