When the museum first opened they had no engine house doors. The original world famous Red fire service doors         We also had a lot of work to do and one of the first jobs was to dig up the cobbled yard and bring the original cobbles back.         Once these jobs had been done we could start to use this area to display some of our fantastic exhibits.         Thanks to collectors and donations the museums little collection started to grow.         When the museum first opened there was only very little rooms open to view and now nearly the hole building is open for visitors to enjoy as much as we do.       Many thanks to all the people involved in the museum from the very start to the present day.
