Crich Tramway Village, home of the National Tramway Museum, is an outside museum about trams and tramways. It is in Crich, (
listen (info • help)), Derbyshire, England. The museum is set up as an Edwardian village. It has tram lines going out about 1 mile (1.6 km) into the area around the village. The street inside the village contains a sweet shop, café and gift shop. It also contains the whole Red Lion Pub from Stoke-on-Trent and the tram sheds and displays. There is also street furniture from around the United Kingdom.
Most of the trams at Crich ran along the streets of cities in the United Kingdom before the 1960s. Some are from other countries. Many were saved and restored when the tram services in the cities stopped.
