Conserving the Bristol Tram

Conservation in action

Visit Aerospace Bristol over the next few days and see conservation in action.

A professional Conservator is currently working to stabilise and conserve the side of the Bristol Tram.

Their work will include:

  • Cleaning internally to remove dust and debris

  • Replacing a roof plank and top step

  • Removing the window’s lower beading and fixing new moulding

  • Releasing a bowed side plank, creating templates for batten support and re-fixing the bowed plank

  • Treating external timbers with UV protective oil

  • Compiling a treatment report on the works undertaken

Aerospace Bristol would like to thanks the Idlewild Trust and the Aurelius Charitable Trust for supporting this vital work.
