avro heritage museum
Stockport Cheshire
The Avro Heritage Museum preserves the legacy of Alliott Verdon-Roe and his
company A.V. Roe & Co (Avro). Located on the former Woodford Aerodrome near
Stockport in Cheshire, the site saw the production of famous aircraft including
the Lancaster, Vulcan, Nimrod and BAe 146. The Avro Heritage Museum is packed
with fascinating exhibits and is home to the only example of an all-white Vulcan
bomber. There are many activities on offer and things to do to keep all ages
entertained. The Museum has a café on site which offers light refreshments and
fantastic views of the mighty Vulcan bomber as it stands proudly outside. The
Museum is entirely self-funded, relying on admission fees as its main source of
income and staffed by passionate volunteers, many of whom worked at Chadderton
and Woodford.
