About

The Museum tells the story of firefighting, particularly in the Greater Manchester region. The area has played a significant role in the story of fire brigades and fire engineering. Manchester formed England’s first municipal fire service in 1826, whilst the country’s earliest motorised fire engine was delivered to Eccles in 1901.Over 20 fire engines are displayed in this restored 1933 fire station building along with equipment, uniforms, medals and other items.
