Pallot Steam, Motor & General Museum

This fascinating Museum was founded in 1989 by the late Don Pallot – a man of great vision who spent his early days as a trainee with the Jersey Railways where his enthusiasm for steam was born. His objective was to permanently preserve the Island’s mechanical heritage for generations to come and there is no doubt that but for his steady interest, maintained over many years, much that is on display today would have been lost forever. Managed by Trustees, whom are all Don’s sons and daughters, the Museum expanded in 2002 and contains a vast and varied collection of steam locos and engines, road rollers, vintage, commercial, military and classic vehicles, bicycles and toys, tractors, barn engines and agricultural implements, nostalgic photographs – including Jersey Road Races, transport and Jersey Railways history. There is also a collection of organs – including a Compton theatre organ and pipe church organ, paraffin lamps, old radios and numerous items of memorabilia.
A great place to visit come rain or shine – a real walk down ‘memory lane’ with something to interest all ages.
A Steam & Motor Fayres is held in May to celebrate the Liberation of Jersey from the Occupying German forces, and in September, the Steam Threshing & Motor Fayre has a display of steam powered threshing of the harvest crop in the old traditional way.
