A
unique series of school curriculum materials featuring Britains's
road transport hertitage, has been launched to schools throughout
the North West in an initiative mounted by the British Commercial
Vehicle Museum in Leyland Lanashire and supported by Lawtec
and Partnership Link.
Prepared by three Lancashire primary school teachers after a
five-day study visit, the curriculum materials are designed
for use in conjunction with a visit to the museum and follow-up
work in the classroom.
These materials are being offered free of charge with each group
visit to the Museum by primary schools in the North West, each
pack consists of 50 high quality worksheets, which can be photocopied
and used many times.The materials are designed for Key Stages
1 and 2 and are in a flexible format.

The
Museum Trust has one other important area of activity.
This
is the preservation of a huge collection of archives on the
commercial vehicle industry. This collection of literature and
historic photographic and film material is of exceptional size
and nature.
Its
nucleus is the former records of Leyland Motors and comprises
largely technical material (chassis build records, specifications,
workshop manuals, parts lists, etc)
Some
idea of the scale of the archive can be gained from the fact
that after several years of intensive archiving work by dedicated
volunteers, much of the material has still to be properly archived.
