Tramway Street is home to a fascinating collection of historic buildings, each with its own unique story to tell. Among them, The Forge Shop and Stephenson Discovery Centre date back to the 1800s, standing as lasting reminders of the mineral railway that once connected Crich to Ambergate. The Red Lion pub was carefully rescued from Stoke-on-Trent and lovingly rebuilt at Crich Tramway Village at the turn of the millennium. At Town End, the striking facade of the original Derby Assembly Rooms stands tall — saved and relocated to Crich following a devastating fire.
In 2024, we opened the brand-new Tram Stop Café, the perfect spot to relax and recharge with a selection of hot and cold refreshments during your visit.
As you explore Tramway Street, keep an eye out for the carefully preserved street furniture dotted along the route. Highlights include the iconic Bundy Clock at Town End Terminus and the beautifully restored Exhibition Hall windows, rescued from the original Doncaster tram depot.

The Red Lion Pub and Restaurant came all the way from Stoke-on-Trent and was re-built brick by brick. Also look out for the street furniture, which is dotted along the street, including the Bundy Clock at Town End Terminus and The Exhibition Hall windows, which were rescued from the Doncaster tram depot.

The Red Lion was rescued from demolition and restored here piece by piece. It serves a selection of local beer along with hot drinks and snacks, and welcomes families and dogs on a lead.
The Derby Assembly Rooms façade came to Crich after a fire. It houses the Survive and Thrive exhibition and other changing displays. ‘The Art of Trams’ display shows how trams have inspired creativity, including artwork, memorabilia and decorative items.
There are plenty of options including the cafe, Barnett’s old fashioned sweet shop, and the Red Lion Pub.
