About
The 1850s saw transport steaming ahead! Steam travel meant people could get around the country faster than ever before. Steam trains and boats are now iconic.
Can you beat the transport challenge? Make your own model boat or train to take on your adventures!
*Friday 14 August: SEND session: SEND families are welcome at all Wakefield Museums and Castles events. They also run dedicated SEND-friendly sessions at Castleford Museum on Fridays in the school holidays. These sessions will have a more relaxed atmosphere.
