Leicester Transport Heritage Trust is a charity which aims to research, preserve and archive the history of transport across Leicester. We have a growing collection of local historic vehicles and a valuable archive of transport-related material documenting the evolution of Leicester’s unique transport story.
Alongside our preservation and archiving work, we hold regular Zoom and face to face meetings with guest presenters who offer a wide ranging insight into bygone transport. Our quarterly ‘Leicester Wheels‘ journal for members is eagerly anticipated too, when it hits the doormat!
LTHT rallies and open days showcase our historic vehicles to the public, allowing a nostalgic glimpse into the buses and coaches that once ruled the roads of Leicestershire.
Your donations are much appreciated and go towards restoring and preserving Leicester’s heritage vehicles for future generations.
Donate directly as a one off via PayPal.
Also, help the Trust with Easyfundraising. Easyfundraising is the UK’s biggest charity fundraising site; it’s simple to use and it’s totally free to you – just use it while you shop online and the retailer donates to the Trust. Over 7,000 brands have partnered to donate part of what is spent to a good cause at no extra cost.
