National Emergency Services Museum
About This Place
The National Emergency Services Museum (NESM) at West Bar in Sheffield is the UK's only museum dedicated to the history of all three emergency services — police, fire, and ambulance. Housed in the original purpose-built combined station that was the first of its kind in England, the museum spans three floors with ten interactive exhibitions and a large collection of historic vehicles including fire engines, police cars, and ambulances. Visitors can climb aboard vehicles, try on uniforms, and explore hands-on displays. A café and museum shop are on-site. Open Wednesday–Sunday 10:00–16:00.
