Speakers are available from the Museum for your meetings

Do you need a speaker for your meetings?

The Ipswich Transport Museum offers illustrated talks on local transport and engineering matters presented by experts in their field.

We have an extensive archive to draw from and a number of the pictures we use may well have been originally shown to audiences as part of a magic lantern show. However, our lecturers, who are all volunteers, arrive equipped with computer, projector and screen.

They give their time freely but there is a charge of £40 to cover expenses for presentations given within 15 miles radius of the Museum with a further £1 for each additional mile to cover the cost of fuel.

Please contact the Museum on 01473 715666, by eMail at Museum Enquiries, or by writing to Ipswich Transport Museum, Old Trolleybus Depot, Cobham Road, IPSWICH, IP3 9JD

Wheels of Ipswich		Ipswich Airport Remembered
How the town of Ipswich has developed in the last few hundred years and the role that transport has played in that development. Shipping, bicycles, motor cars, horse drawn and electric trams, diesel buses and including the story of the oldest trolleybus on public display in the world. Brian Dyes		Local aviation in the days before the birth of the Airport in the 1920s. The war time years with full RAF station status. Use as a feeder station to Southend for flights to the Continent and as a centre for local, sports flying. Its demise and development for housing. John Griffiths
