Moseley
Hall Grammar School
The Moseley Tramway was founded in 1968 as an experimental project at Moseley Hall Grammar School using materials recovered from a local brickworks. Initially horse-drawn vehicles were used but later diesel, petrol and battery-electric powered vehicles were introduced. The Moseley Tramway was closed when the school required for development the land that the Tramway occupied, leading to the collection being put into storage for a number of years.
Most of the collection now belongs to the Moseley Railway Trust , which has a permanent home in the Apedale Country Park in Staffordshire alongside the Apedale Heritage Centre, where a railway is being constructed and a museum is planned.
