What's on...
Help save this iconic fire engine.
This Leyland FK6 fire engine was built in 1932 at Leyland’s Lancashire factory. It’s what you might call a “pick-and-mix” design, as Barnsley Fire Brigade chose the body, engine and chassis from different models to create the best machine they could. On the night of 12 December 1940, this very engine was sent from Barnsley to Sheffield during the Blitz.
We need your help to preserve this historic fire engine for future generations. With your support, we can restore it to its former glory and ensure it takes pride of place in our new exhibition. Every donation, large or small, brings us closer to sharing its remarkable story with visitors for years to come.
