.The Sheffield Fire & Police Museum is the largest, volunteer run, museum of its kind in the UK.Within the walls of the old Victorian Police and Fire Station are a multitude of Fire engines, both ancient and modern. Exhibits, ranging from Victorian brass helmets to state of the art breathing apparatus, can be seen alongside photographs and documents from the past. The Museum is open to the general public every Sunday and bank holiday throughout the year, from 11.00am to 5.00pm. The Museum is supported by donations and entry ticket sales. It is therefore strapped for cash and doesn't have its own computer and internet address
