National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port

The National Waterways Museum (NWM) is a transport museum, at Ellesmere Port in the English county of Cheshire, which concentrates on the history of Britain's navigable inland waterways. Until 2010, the Waterways Trust operated three sites, including this one, under the name National Waterways Museum. In that year, the site at Gloucester was renamed the Gloucester Waterways Museum and the site at Stoke Bruerne became The Canal Museum.
