Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past History Information Request Liverpool Technology Museum?

Sorry Bob, but this was what i was told yesterday bu the museum manager!

Lion was on long term loan to the Manchester Museum of Science and Technology, but it was returned to Liverpool in February 2007 for conservation and preparation for display in 2011.

Bob is right , the new museum will house the overhead railway carriage, the first car off the production line from Fords and one or two other pieces still to be decided on as it does not have room for them all. Some of the vehicles do come out on heritage days. To see these large items contact the museum and they will be more then happy to arrange a visit for you, if theres a group of you thats even better.

Check my previous post angelina, done that

I have an update on this.
Today, Liverpool Museum contacted me regarding a visit for Wiki members to view the objects in storage in Juniper St, Liverpool.
A Mr Tim Shewan called me, he has looked at Wiki and deemed us a responsable site and more than happy to help in this matter of a visit.
He read out an e-mail from Sharon Brown who is incharge of the storage of the Large objects.
It says that a visit for Wiki members would not be a problem except that work is due to start on the repairs to the roof of the storage warehouse in Juniper St.
This work is due to go on until after Xmas and into New Year. There is not a problem with us having a visit, just BAD TIMING im afraid.
We have been promised a guided tour in the spring, and have at least 10 people i know interested already!!

If anyone has any queries, these people can help. If you need any more info, please do not hesitate to post / pm me, i will call in anytime now we have established a line of communication.
Tim was very helpful and informative and quite impressed with what he saw of Wiki. Maybe he should register himself or Liverpool Museum on Wiki??
OH, AND BY THE WAY.... Some objects in storage from The Large Objects Museum WILL be exibited in the new museum!!!!

you've got your foot well in the door there mate. nice one dude

Brilliant news! I'm very pleased-something to look forward to in the new year. Thanks, hoseman.

Well done sir/madam just incase :-),something to look forward to in 2010.

Im a Sir last time i looked!! LOL

It's nice that the someone at the museum took the time to reply, i and others where thinking about writing letters of complaint about the lack of any sort of reply from the people in charge at the Land Transport Collection !. I have been told that they have to respond as they are a national museum, perhaps someone in charge should get the boot !.

Awesome, I'd love to go to that.

would be really eager if this goes ahead to come along, when the museum closed their basement when they were starting work on the upstairs i was really miffed, loved the overhead carriage, just love going anywhere with BIG stuff really, was told they would all be included in the new museum, so when it opened and became a kids playzone and NOT in my opinion a museum, I was quite annoyed. glad to think these items will once again be on show in Liverpool, they are our heritage and should be celebrated not hidden away.

Anyone know if the model railway layout of the Merseyrail underground will be on show in the new museum ?

Couldn`t agree more!!! I loved that basement! AND I can`t believe I never knew anything about the big stuff in l`pool before it got shut down!!!! Am gutted!!!!

Sorry Sallybear, was told by the museum that only SOME of the stuff will be on display, thats why its best to view it all in storage i think. Must make contact with them again soon to let them know we are still interested!
