Aston Manor Road Transport Museum

Aston Manor Road Transport Museum is an independent transport museum that until December 2011 occupied the former Birmingham Corporation Tramways’ Witton Tram Depot, in the Aston district of Birmingham, England, run by a registered charity.The museum hosted the 40th birthday party of Charles, Prince of Wales on 14 November 1988, when he formally opened the museum.Following a decision by Birmingham City Council to cease funding the museum, it closed in October 2011 and between then and December that year, the collection was moved to Beechams Business Park, home to the former Jack Allen dustcart assembly plant, in nearby Aldridge, where a new museum is expected to open in due course.
