The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum was established in 1997 when a group of enthusiasts, most of whom owned or part-owned a vintage bus or coach, needed collectively to provide for secure undercover accommodation for their vehicles. Initially occupying two IoW Council buildings on Newport Quay, these founder members leased one of the buildings, a former grain store, and established the original Museum which was open to the public during summer months. The Museum’s collection of vehicles and associated artefacts grew into an impressive display of the Island’s transport heritage.

Story

Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum Flood Appeal

Torrential rain on the 24th/25th October caused significant flooding to the museum and surrounding area of Ryde. Being on a flood plain means that we cannot obtain insurance cover, a dilemma faced by many residential and business properties in the area.

Thousands of pounds worth of sales stock and electrical items were damaged in the flood. Although the water has receded there is still much clearing up to do. We plan to seek professional help in improving our flood resilience after the immediate problems have been addressed.

Any help that you can give in assisting this recovery will be greatly appreciated
