Website updated on 19th February 2020
Welcome!
MEMBER of
Thank you for visiting our website!
Dewsbury Bus Museum is a dedicated group of volunteers whose aim is to preserve the transport heritage of the West Riding and the surrounding areas. Up to thirteen of our buses can be stored in our building in Ravensthorpe, near Dewsbury, while others are stored elsewhere. Some of our buses are owned by the groups, others by individual members.
We are a registered charity (No. 702232) and virtually all of our income is derived from members' subscriptions, the proceeds of events and book sales and rental of space to members to store their own vehicles.
We hold three events each year (March, August and November), details of which are on the EVENTS page of this website, and we take our buses to outside events organised by other enthusiast groups. If you wish to bring a group for a private visit at other times, please contact us.
PLEASE NOTE - we have no connection with a "not for profit" organisation called "The West Riding Bus Group".
NEXT MEETING MONDAY 16th MARCH. 2020 SOOTHILL WMC 151 SOOTHILL LANE. WF17 6HW STARTING 19:15

R.I.P. STUART GOLDTHORPE
It is with great sadness that the Goldthorpe family have to announce the passing of Stuart, a much loved husband, father and grandad. He will be fondly remembered by us all for his warmth, kindness and generous spirit, which was extended to everyone he came into to contact with. Stuart was an enthusiastic member of the museum and actively involved in the renovation of Wulfrunian 970. He was also a keen supporter of Huddersfield Town Football Club and enjoyed attending matches with his sons and grandson.
The family have been very grateful for all the support and kindness they have received so far at this difficult time. Should anyone wish to make a contribution in memory of Stuart then please make any donation to Flushdyke Kennels where many of Stuart’s canine family originated.
Stuart will no doubt be remembered as Ethel’s regular Conductor at our Open Day events.
