The Barlow Museum is a private museum which houses one of the finest collections of stationary engines in the world, including a very rare 1857 Otto Atmospheric (hydrogen) Engine and a faithful reproduction of an 1883 Benz 3-wheel motor carriage – the world’s first car, amongst many other interesting exhibits. A number of these will be run on the day.
